Abstract	Manufacturers face cost-reduction and efficiency challenges in their operations. They need to find ways to reduce production time, costs and eliminate waste in order to improve operating performance and product quality to survive in today’s highly competitive world, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) technique involves flowcharting the steps, activities, material flows, communications, and other process elements that are part of the transformation process. In this respect, Value Stream Mapping helps an organization to identify the non-value-adding elements in a targeted process and brings a product or a group of products that use the same resources through the main flows, from raw material to the arms of customers. This paper discusses the method of Value Stream Mapping and its benefit to different industries. The paper also presents a Literature Review to summarize the various applications of this technique and improvements achieved in lead time, cycle time and inventory reduction by various industries. The paper concludes with highlighting VSM’s important contribution to revealing and curtailing extravagances in the target process.
