Value Stream Mapping in a job shop

	          		I am currently working in a company where I have been told to implement VSM. But the problem is that its manufacturing activities are like a job shop and there is no repeatability. Is VSM possible in such environment?

													I am sure it is possible, no doubts. Waste can be found and eliminated everywhere. Read once again what is VSM and try it :)

													I implemented VSM in a job shop environment. I broadly grouped products based on common processes and prepare VSM for the group rather than product.

													The purpose of VSM is to map current state or visualize current state then try to map for a state without muda or wastages from the view point of the customer. 

I think one can easily identify muda in any place whether it be a traditional tailor shop / job shop or a common restaurant where you have to prepare a specific dish as per the customer demand everytime.

VSM is very simple in case you understand its basics. It is a visualisation tool just like painter or photographer helps in visualisation.
