Mappping Outsourced Activities in Value Stream Mapping

Mappping Outsourced Activities in Value Stream Mapping

Hi everybody, I would need an advice concerning the mapping of an outsourced activity in the production of one company where I'm working on my thesis. I haven't found any information about how to map the value stream when the production isn't all done in one company. In my case, the original company starts to work on the product and because it's the smaller one, the product is then transported to another company which has the needed equipment for the operation needed. Then the product is transported back to the original company. I would like to know how to map this flow.
If you have any experience with some similar case or if you have any ideas concerning how to map this, I would be very grateful for them. Thanks for your comments!
