Value Stream Step 6

Draw the Future State Map


THE PURPOSE:
Highlight sources of waste
Eliminate them
In a short period of time.
THE GOAL: To build a chain of production where the individual
processes are linked to the customer(s) either by continuous flow
(the best) or pull and each process gets as close as possible to
producing only what the customer(s) need when they need it.

What can we do with what we have?

The Office

Office functions support many shop floor value streams purchasing, payroll
The rate of customer demand is often hard to see
Inventory can be forms, paperwork, in-baskets, out-baskets,
voicemail, email
Cycles of activity often are random - little standard work
Confusion about who the customer is and what is value

The Office

HOWEVER, THE
OBJECTIVE IS TO
ELIMINATE WASTE!

The Office Current State


Define boundaries of your value stream
There has to be a product or service to follow - like a
purchase order or payroll document - otherwise use a normal
flowchart (LEI)

The Office Current State


What capability do you provide?
Is the demand stable?

If not, what is the range ?

What is the customers expectation of performance?

Value Stream Step 6

Draw the Future State Map


Designing a Lean Flow
You always need a future state
Use pencil, update regularly, 70%
correct is fine
Basis for work plan - blueprint
Begin by drawing a current state
1st iteration assumes using existing
equipment, only minor purchases
Use the list of future state questions

Product Family

Implementation

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map - Icons

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question 1


What is the takt time for the chosen product family?

450 minutes per shift / 9 units per shift= 50 minutes

However this includes no time for equipment downtime,


changeovers, or scrap and rework.

Until these are under control you can decide to produce


faster than Takt

Its purpose is to synchronize the pace of production with


the pace of sales

A diagnostic tool to test for overproduction

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question 2


Should you build to a finished goods Supermarket or directly
to shipping?

Building directly to shipping is ideal.

If the competitive lead time is less than your process lead


time, you will need a finished goods supermarket.

If customer demand rises and falls unpredictably it might


be better to use a finished goods Supermarket.

The cost of holding some finished goods may well be less


than the cost of extra capacity

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question 3


Where can you introduce continuous flow?

Produce one piece at a time

Reduce batch sizes and implement material replenishment.

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question 4


Where will you need to use supermarket pull systems?

Batching might be necessary

Where changeover is necessary due to very fast or slow


cycle times and multiple product families.
Long supply chainOne piece at a time is not realistic
Some processes have too much lead time or too unreliable to
couple directly to other processes in a continuous flow.

In these cases install a Supermarket based pull system

Supermarkets are used when continuous flow is interrupted

Remember, flow is better. There is a cost associated with a


supermarket

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question 5


At what single point will you schedule production?

This is called the pacemaker process.

How you control the production here sets the pace for all of
the upstream processes.

Any process after the pacemaker process must be


continuous- flow ( no Supermarkets or pulls downstream of
the pacemaker process.

Therefore, the pacemaker process is frequently the most


downstream continuous-flow process in the value stream.

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question 6


How will you level the production mix at the pacemaker
process?

Distribute the production of different products evenly over


time at the pacemaker process.

Grouping products makes it difficult to serve customers


who need something different than the batch being
produced at that time.

On-time deliveries suffer. A part that is due tomorrow


might not make it because it has to wait for the long
batches to complete.

The icon for leveling is

OXOX

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question 7


What increment of work will you consistently release and
take away at the pacemaker process?

Start by releasing small consistent amounts at the


pacemaker process, while simultaneously taking away equal
amounts of finished goods or paced withdrawal

This consistent increment of work is called the PITCH

Can be based on packout container quantity


Establishes interval for monitoring status of production

The key is to create a predictable flow which enables you to


act quickly to problems.

Value Stream Step 6


Future State Map Question 7 - Heijunka Box

A tool used to by some is the (heijunka box)

A load leveling box with a column for Kanban slots for each
PITCH interval and a row of Kanban slots for each product type.

allocated to make it (based on TAKT time)

Value Stream Step 6

Future State Map Question Summary

What is the takt time?


Will we build to shipping or to a supermarket?
Where can we use continuous flow?
Where do we have to use supermarket pull systems?
At what single point in the production chain do we trigger
production?
What levels of work will we release and take away from the
pacemaker process?
How will we level the production mix at the pacemaker
process?
What supporting improvements will be necessary?
(e.g. uptime, set-up, training)

Quiz 5

Circle the best answer


1. Kanban cards are used to:
A. Improve flow by providing working instructions to the next operator
B. Control the lot size of a FIFO lane so that inventory doesnt build
C. Allows the operators to sort the cards into right sized batches to
minimise changeovers
D. Provides an instruction that regulates the sequence and timing of
production

2. When calculating takt time:


A. Include lunches and breaks in the available working time and reduce
them afterwards
B. Include lunches and breaks but do not include planned maintenance
C. Do not include lunches, breaks or planned machine maintenance as
available working time
D. Do not include lunches, breaks, estimated machine downtime, and any
other unavailable production time

Acme Co. Future State

The stamping process needs to produce batches larger than 60


pieces.

A trigger point is set up in the stamping supermarket which


includes changeover, replenishment delay and other stamping
problems. In this case stamping will keep 1.5 days of parts in its
supermarket

A signal Kanban is sent to the stamping process whenever the


number of bins remaining drops to a trigger ( minimum ) level

Signal or Batch kanban

Value Stream Step 6

Acme Co. Future State

What about Raw Material?


To build a plant level value stream the Future State must also
show a third supermarket at the receiving dock which holds
coils of steel
Acme can attach an internal withdrawal Kanban to each coil
and send these Kanbans to their own production control
department whenever another coil is used.
Production control can order coils based on their actual usage
instead of a best guess determined by MRP
The cards are then returned to the receiving dock as a signal for
shipments that are due.
Milk runs for daily deliveries should be considered at this point

Value Stream Step 7

Generate a Value Stream Plan

Create the yearly Value Stream Plan

Tie it to business objectives


Relate the Future State Map to your layout
What to do, by when, by whom

Fix the obvious

Broken equipment, needed maintenance


Purchase small tools, replace home-made fixtures

5S
Break the implementation into steps

Break your future state into loops


Each loop contains the flow up to and including a supermarket

Start Making the Improvements


Make continuous Value Stream Improvement the responsibility
of management
Dont wait to get your future state map perfect
The main point is ACHIEVING the future state

Value Stream Step 9

Conduct Value Stream Reviews


Make continuous Value Stream Improvement the responsibility
of management
Conduct regular Value Stream Reviews while walking the floor

A. Break the total value stream into manageable pieces and prioritise
them
B. Communicate the plan to senior management
C. Assign kaizen teams to be responsible for each loop
D. Develop measures for each loop based upon improving lead times

2. The point of value stream mapping is:


A.
B.
C.
D.

To document the current state for future reference


To create a future state diagram
To implement a future state with less waste
To reduce staffing in the production environment

Value Stream Step 10

Repeat the Cycle

Keep working for perfection

What Can Be Achieved?


75%

of wasted steps eliminated

Throughput
Demand
Quality

time shrinks to less than 10% of current state time

amplification is eliminated

higher and consistent from start to finish

Transport

links and information needs shrink dramatically

Concluding Comments
A future state cant be implemented all at once
Kaizen events help work towards the future state
Value Stream Mapping:

Helps you visualise more than a single process level


Links the material and information flows
Provides a common language
Provides a blueprint for implementation
Can be more useful than quantitative tools
Ties together lean concepts and techniques
