Value Stream Mapping (VSM): Creating current and future state process map imaginary but realistic data for your value stream mapping (VSM) project.
This data is designed for a company like Pluto Electronics, manufacturing Bluetooth Headphones.📦 Product InfoProduct: Wireless Bluetooth HeadphonesCustomer demand: 500 units/dayWork time: 8 hours/day = 480 minutesTakt Time = 480 / 500 = 0.96 min/unit

⏱ Timeline Summary (Current State)
Lead time: 6.5 daysValue-added time: 5.5 minutesNon-value-added time: Mostly in inventory between steps
💡 Future State Ideas
To build the future state map:Reduce inventory between steps using KanbanSynchronize processes to Takt TimeCombine Assembly + Testing for better flowUse supermarket before shippingAim for lead time = 3 days, value-added time = same
