What is required in the pictures so that it is clear and I guarantee that it is the same as what is required. The cover must have the name of the assignment and the names on it. The first step is as shown in the picture with the numbers then in the data table. The numbers in it will definitely change because the data has changed. Two dimensions in the value stream drawing are also required two dimensions in a table. In the future value stream drawing, as is required in step 4 and step 5

Three primary metrics are used; Throughput, Inventory, and Operational Expense. Each of the waste types (cycle time, changeover time, etc) are listed for each metric and for each waste type the operation that contributes most is listed. This is accomplished via the brainstorming technique and using a simple spreadsheet: Based on the spreadsheet, the class decides on a single metric to pursue such "as "increase throughput by 5% ", or "decrease operational expense by 10% ". For the next step in this example we will choose the latter (operational expense). Step 4: Create the future state map of the process. The future map created, by the class; as an open discussion, and must include the reduction of the operational expenses by 10%. This can be done by reducing the cycle times of the bending and/or braiding operations, reducing the changeover time for the coating operation, and/or reducing the defect rate of the cutting operation. We would first have to determine a manufacturing rate and a During the material presentation on VSM, the 6 steps outlined at the beginning of this paper are followed through using a simple manufacturing example such as the production of wire coat hangers. This example is used because the product is known by all students and the individual production operations can be easily understood. The 6 VSM steps created as a class area as follows W Step 1: Determine the appropriate process to improve. Example is the manufacturing of wire dining rable VStep 2: Create the current state map of the process The class is given the following information: Pre manufacturing ? Order entry time =1 day 6 deys ? Raw material ordering =1 heml 3 houss 2. Raw material delivery time =2 days 3 danys ? Incoming inspection time =0 hour I hour Post manufacturing Delivery time =2 days From this information, the class creates the current map on the blackboard using the common VSM icons. During the initial stages, the WIP, incoming inspection, final inspection, lot/batch sizes WStep 5: Determine improvement methods to go from the current state to the future state that achieve the correct metric. This is the step that requires some engineering thought and problem solving. There can be many methods to improve a manufacturing situation from simplistic to complex. By working as a group (teaming), the ideas are brainstormed and the top 5 ideas are voted on for further discussion. In order to fully analyze each idea's validity, more information would be necessary such as annual volume, profit margin, etc. in order to justify any changes/improvements
