Basic information about the flow and process are recorded, analysed, presented and implemented in improved manner hence making VSM a powerful tool for process improvement. This paper is an attempt to present a real life example of improvement gained through implementation of VSM enabler of lean manufacturing. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the measurable impact of lean manufacturing implementation on operational performance with the use of value stream mapping enabler of lean manufacturing.
