Value stream mapping is mapping of all activities (both value-added and non-value-added) that are needed to bring a product from its raw material state into a state ready for use by a customer. Which of the following baseline measurements in a value stream map would measure the amount of work that fluctuates for a given activity?
  1. First pass yield.
  2. Cycle lead time.
  3. Demand variation.
  4. Process capability measures.
Explanation
Answer: C - Demand variation in a value stream map would measure the amount of work that fluctuates for a given activity. A value stream map shows all of the actions required to change raw materials into a product delivered to the customer. The map separates the value-added activities of a system from the non-value-added activities. The non-value-added activities are opportunities for possible improvement within the system. The value stream shows the process flow from order to delivery.
