Why should you use ISO 22468?
The value stream management (VSM) method is an effective tool for the collection, evaluation and continuous improvement of product and information flows within organizations.
ISO 22468 provides you with the analysis, design, and planning of value streams. In consideration of an ideal state, the current state of the value stream is mapped according to the gathered data and subsequently analysed to design a future state with less waste and a reduced lead time.
ISO 22468 enables organizations to streamline their internal and external processes. ISO 22468 ensures a unified collection, visualization, and calculation of value streams, first within companies or corporations and consequentially along supply chains.
