Hi Alex. Tank you for watching my video and for commenting! Are there any other topics that interest you? If so, I will try to create more videos for you.
1) Dr. D, in other resources I have seen for VSM, the value added time is written in the top spikes (whereas in yours the value added time is written on the bottom plateaus). So does it matter where you put the waiting time and where you put the value added time? 2) Also, in this specific example did we have to consider the value added time in terms of 1 hr intervals? Couldn't we just consider each P/T as the value added time (i'm assuming P/T stands for processing time)? So in that case the total value added time would be 2 hr 25 min. and the wait would be same as yours - 8 hr 32 min. Let me know why or why it's not possible to do it my way. Thank you so much and eagerly awaiting your reply and feedback.
Hi Manjesh Banawara. Thank you for watching and for commenting. So for your first question - sadly there is no "universally correct" way to do any management tool. The "right" way is the one that best tells your story. I have seen the value added time on both the top and the bottom. I usually say use the one the format that your boss, client, or professor tells you to use - knowing you may have to change it at a later stage. The key is just to do a quick explanation at the beginning so everyone is on the same page. Does this help? For your second question - I hope I have understood your question correctly. Yes, P/T means how long it takes you to do whatever step in a process - i.e. it takes Y minutes to process X amount of coffee beans. Yes, you can allocate it for any time interval - when I am teaching I try to keep the numbers simple, so I use 1 hour as the base. Does this help? Let me know if you have any further questions.
Loved your video on Creative Distruction! It's great to see Value Stream Mapping on an economics channel. There's this version that's part of business re-engineering "school". It stems from the LEAN era. It's very impactful to improve operations. Business Architecture uses the same jargon -Value Stream Mapping- but uses it differently to focus on how outcome processes are coordinated ("jobs handed across" roles vertically in the org/network/supply chain. Cybernetics ("science" of governance" ) also confusingly uses the same %&^$ acronym - VSM - 🙃 but it refers to Viable Systems Modeling, a collective learning model that focuses attention on patterns across and between nested and recursive systems. Include the Wardley Mapping process into the mix...BOOM! That's some of the ingredients for creative distruction. Entrepreneurial ideas aren't born "out of thin air". They are seeds that need moisture, sun and soil and cultivation. There's never been as much opportunity available for the asking in the history of the USA as it is in3023. Be brave. Be fair but mostly be nice. Go out seize it.

@@natahnsi Thank you for this feedback. Actually I have a black belt in Lean Six Sigma, and I was contemplating putting up a blackbelt course on TH-cam. Is this something that would interest you as well?
So how to you display P/T for complicated processes? What if the process time varies depending on complexity, 5 mins for straight forward actions but up to 15 for complex? Is it acceptable to do a range? If yes, do you also display on average a certain time is hit during that 5 - 15 min rage? For example P/T = 5 - 15 mins; Average P/T Rate 9 mins @ 85%. 50% would be the benchmark, therefore, any time that's consistently hits or exceed the benchmark is documented in the current state. Is this relevant in VSM? I'm worried that maybe too granular and the map could become a little cluttered with too much information if not relevant. I understand that you can do 2 streams for min & max P/T but what about the instances in the middle - there can be complexities and multiple decision points within a an already complex process - How would you handle those? Brew Beans (Bean Type) is a decision point that could have different P/T depending on the type of Beans.
Hi Todye4. Thank you for watching my video and for posting. Actually you could illustrate this variation in the process to show where you need to focus your efforts. If you have a P/T that is 5-15 minutes, this can communicate that process improvement is desperately needed in this step. Ideally, you can get that step in the process closer to 5 minutes. You can always twist a tool to tell the story that you think is the most relevant. Did I understand your questions correctly? Does this help?
Hi todye4. There are a variety of ways to illustrate decision points on a VSM - can you be more specific on which kinds of decision points you need? Different symbols can be used for different decision points.
Hi todye4. In this particular case, I would draw more than one VSM to show these different streams. I also feel like the VSM is a little rigid for what you are trying to accomplish. An alternative would be to blend tools, perhaps blending tools such as a decision tree, a process map, or swim lane map with a VSM. This is a little unconventional, but I always encourage people to pervert and twist tools if it better tells your story. Is this helpful?
In this video, I learned the diagram illustrates the time frame required to operate the business effectively. Analyzing this information can assist in determining the necessary resources such as utensils and productivity factors (such as employees) required to efficiently manage and operate your business.-Cateria Brown
Hi Dr.D, It is very nice lecture. Could you please tell me what metrics can go into a process step? I believe metrics would be different depending on a business. Lets say we are talking about information technology process.
Hi Yulia. I apologize for missing this comment. Yes, you are right the metrics for each process will be tailor made for each VSM. Try to focus on items that are measurable - time and error rates are the basic ones. Then I would look at the "batches" of work - think about work orders - maybe you get them ten at a time or you need at least ten until you can do something with them. I do not know very much about IT, regrettably. I would think possible metrics for process steps would be how long it takes to accept and process a work order would be one, the amount of time it takes to process X number of network connections might be another one. If you can tell me more about the process you are examining, I would be happy to brainstorm some additional examples with you (I will be faster this time).
