I have been working on a value stream analysis case study. I believe that you will find it useful and thought provoking. We used the VSA to define weaknesses in a process’s work flow, made changes, and documented the improvement that resulted. Cycle time was the metric we were pursuing.

Unfortunately, due to a death in the family, I will not get it finished this week. I apologize, but family does come first. We’ll take more next week.
