About the author

Ovidiu Contras is a Lean Coach and author of “Navigating the Lean Transformation," book covering some of his personal experiences in Lean transformation efforts, not as a consultant, but as a continuous improvement employee.
His career started as a design engineer for high temperatures industrial equipment. Since 2000 he is actively involved in Lean Transformation efforts as Lean Black Belt, Continuous Improvement Manager, Kaizen Promotion Officer or Lean Coach in different environments: Manufacturing, Engineering, Operations, working for companies in Aerospace, Consumer Goods and Research & Development.

Summary

The standard belief in books about the Lean initiatives and value stream mapping (VSM) is that VSM works well on transactional processes (which are primarily linear processes where hand-offs are well defined and the outcome is known), and it is useful for repetitive projects or products.
