Value Stream Mapping
Value stream mapping is a lean manufacturing technique used to analyze and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a consumer. At Toyota, where the technique originated, it is known as "material and information flow mapping"...

toolkit and is used to analyse processes/functions with respect to Quality.

The results of a Quality Filter Map shows how much waste is being generated within an organisation at each stage of the process.

Three types of Quality are measured as part of the model

• Product Quality – Defective Item provided to customer

• Defect Quality – Defective item found prior to receipt by customer
• Service Quality – Defect that affects the ability of the supplier to provide the service or product to the customer

Quality failures/defects are represented as a ratio (typically parts per million).

Results of Quality Filter Mapping are commonly used to feed into continuous improvement plans. A revised map is then generated after implementation of improvement plans to measure the result of improvements.
