 VSM vs Point Improvements!

Point improvements: searching for wastes “muda” and

doing projects to eliminate them

Pros Cons

• Quick Wins • Value flow comes to a halt

• Buy-in in the swamp of inventories
• Learning experience and detours ahead of the
next downstream step.
• Doesn’t guarantee bottom
line improvements or
customer satisfaction
• Isolated victories over
muda, some of them quite
dramatic, which fail to
improve the whole.
