Description
Summary:	This case is an opportunity to apply the concepts of value stream mapping based on details about a flange manufacturing facility. Value stream mapping is a fundamental lean tool in which flowcharts are used to show all steps involved, from making a product from incoming raw materials to the delivery of finished goods. In this learning activity, use the details provided in this case to construct a present-state value stream map. From this map, identify issues and create a future-state value stream map to address them. Operations management principles, such as takt time, cycle time, Kanban, standard costing, and inventory control will guide this learning activity.
