C)has the potential to increase the carbon footprint
D)is applied only in push production systems

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Value stream mapping (VSM) is a tool that facilitates identifying sources and causes of waste, with the aim of eliminating them. VSM is used in lean production systems to identify inefficiencies in the production process and optimize it. It simplifies the process of identifying and reducing non-value-adding activities, thereby streamlining the production system. It is not limited to push production systems and can be used in any type of production system. It is applied during the initial stages of lean implementation and continues to be used as a continuous improvement tool. It does not impact the organization's carbon footprint as it aims to reduce waste and increase efficiency.
