Value Stream Analysisplus Administration
Value stream analysis helps to methodically visualize processes in administrative fields of activity. Potential for improvement still lies dormant in many of the administrative areas of companies across all sectors. When using value stream analysis, one aims to make transparent the chain of processes and identify, reduce or eliminate any obstructive waste alongside it. Waste can most commonly be found as interruptions or redundant loops and activities. Hereby capacity for value adding activities is being tied up. As results of the value stream analysis and the implementation of derived process improvements rapid order processing, flexible administrative processes and high delivery reliability can be expected.
