The document provides an overview of lean principles and value stream mapping. It discusses that value stream mapping is a visual tool to understand the flow of material and information required to deliver a product or service. It also outlines the current and future state metrics that would be used to quantify improvements from value stream mapping. Examples of improvement targets are reducing process time, inventory, costs and increasing capacity. The key is to identify tasks, assign responsibilities, and regularly review progress to implement the future state goals.
