Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Develops a new value stream or supply-chain mapping typology. This seven-map typology is based on the different wastes inherent in value streams. The use of the various tools, either singularly or in combination, is therefore driven by the types of waste to be removed. The tools themselves are drawn from a range of existing functional ghettos such as logistics, operations management and engineering. Maintains that two of the seven tools can be regarded as completely new. This cross-functional approach means that the choice of tools to be used can be made from outside of traditional departmental boundaries, affording researchers and companies the opportunity to use the most appropriate tools rather than merely those that are well-known in their function. Describes each tool briefly and gives a simple mechanism for choosing which is most appropriate to contingent situations.
