The main goal of a company is to conduct target
oriented rationalization efforts. Thus, the challenges are,
among others, to transparence, to bundle, to adapt, to reinterpret
and to develop personal and organizational
competencies for systematic and methodic planning,
designing and implementing, i.e. giving sustainable
improvement of processes and value streams. This article
describes the further developments of "Value Stream
Mapping" (Value Stream oriented Process Management,
Value Stream Mapping and MTM, evaluation of alternative
value streams, cost development of value streams by
changing input parameters). Existing, implicit knowledge
will be explicated and systematically bundled along the value
stream from different departments of a company in order to
enhance work system design and improvement. The personal
and organizational system and method competencies are
therefore available to evaluate improvement measures and
to perform their target-oriented implementation.
