English abstract:
The optimization of value streams in manufacture will always present alternative solutions to planners as
a result of the interdependencies between all the optimization parameters. In the search for an ideal value
stream in terms of cost and benefit, relevant monetary and non-monetary parameters have to be
considered. The method introduced describes a mathematical calculation bringing different parameters
of a value stream into one equation. After a normalization step, and a systematic prioritization of the
parameters, a value is calculated for each alternative solution. This value allows planners to compare
alternatives and to find the best-case solution with the current state process.

Keywords:
Optimization, Reconfiguration, Value stream mapping
