Value Stream Mapping (VSM) stands as VCG's pinnacle solution, offering a thorough evaluation of a designated business area or function encompassing all primary customer processes from initiation to completion.

This methodical approach to value stream analysis comprises three essential components: real-time observation of work processes from the customer's perspective, utilization of data, and integration of customer feedback.

These elements are intricately woven together to construct a narrative of the current state, providing an unembellished depiction of the “as is” environment. This serves as a foundational reference point for steering the development and execution of the envisioned future state and execution.

Targeted problem solving represents VCG's strategic method for addressing specific problems or challenges within a broader defined system, such as a value stream. These issues are often tightly scoped, warranting immediate action. They encompass various facets like refining workplace design, optimizing work layout and processes, establishing standard work, defining measurable outcomes, and many other potential solutions.

At VCG, Management Systems, termed as Daily Engagement Systems, serve as the bedrock for setting both long and short-term goals. They furnish the business with a framework to assess its performance against objectives and targets on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

These systems not only lay down objectives and establish measurement mechanisms but also equip stakeholders with tools to initiate action and foster improvement. Furthermore, they facilitate monitoring to ensure that previous enhancements are sustained over time.

At the core of management systems, AKA daily engagement systems, the goal is to empower and engage all team members and employees towards achieving organizational objectives and understanding their particular role and impact on the broader company.
