Explanation
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean technique that visually maps the flow of materials and information required to deliver a product or service. It helps identify all steps in the process, distinguish value-adding from non-value-adding steps, and expose waste (muda). Fishbone diagrams are used for root cause analysis, flowcharts are general process visualization tools, and Pareto analysis prioritizes problems by frequency (80/20 rule) - none of these specifically focus on analyzing flow to eliminate waste.
