Value Stream Mapping is a specific type of process mapping which is a cornerstone of Lean Production and Lean Supply Chain initiatives. Developed to facilitate continuous improvement in discrete parts assembly manufacturing (automobiles, refrigerators, cell phones), Value Stream Mapping must be enhanced to be fully effective in the production of personal care products, food and beverage, chemicals, and the like.
The book describes these enhancements based on King's 25 years of experience as a lean practitioner, with the DuPont Company and in private practice.
It includes examples of VSMs from real processes, and describes how they were used to improve operations.

It includes case studies describing successful wheel application at Appleton, Dow Chemical, DuPont, and other manufacturers.
