Unit 4 describes how to create the future state map and design a plan for action. After the solutions identified in the future state map have been implemented, and their effect of process performance analyzed, the task of optimizing the process continues with a future state map. Using Lean tools, the ideal state can be

This unit covers creating a diagram of flow and adding step and process measurements The elements of flow–people, materials and information–must be understood in order for process performance to make sense. Creating optimal flow through a process involves linking value-added steps together as seamlessly as possible. This ensures that the three elements are not creating

Finding wasteful conditions and their causes is covered in this unit, as well as finding solutions to those causes Once the process has been diagrammed and measured, a true analysis of wasteful conditions and their causes is possible. Since knowledge is the fundamental prerequisite of creativity, the solutions that arise from a thorough current state
