Improvements

In virtually any value adding process, throughput time can dramatically be improve since 95 to 99,5% of the time is non-value adding..

Lots of transfer points (one desk to the other) can be eliminated.

Historically grown processes can become transparent, fast and more stabile by taking out the identified losses.

Issue

Improvement

Throughput time

50% - 90% faster

Transfers

90% less

Output errors

90% - 100% less

Value added time

If the time stays the same, quality of output goes drastically up. For the same output, the VA time sometimes can go down 25% or more.
