Value Stream Map Lab (Lite).

Demonstrate VA vs NVA thinking and flow awareness in a fixed, low-risk scenario.

How to use this simulator:

Review the current-state process
Read the steps and timing as shown. Assume this is a real snapshot, not a hypothetical.

Classify each step
Click each process step to cycle between VA / BVA / NVA (or VA / NVA, depending on mode).

Observe the metrics update
Watch how Lead Time, VA %, and Queue Time change as classifications shift.

Check your answers
Use the check feedback to discuss why certain steps add value — or don’t.
