hi! im jericho, currently a BS Industrial Engineering student of the University of the Philippines. Im doing an internship here at Wyeth Philippines and one of the tasks given to me is to develop a value stream map for our plant.

Im wondering if anyone could help me out on how to do VSM.

Thanks/

The best reference is the book, "Learning to See". My recommendation is to grab a copy of that and then post any specific questions you may have.
