Value Added Stream Mapping
Optimizing Workflow Efficiency Across Oil & Gas, Marine & Industrial Projects
At Orbit International Survey Services, we leverage Value Stream Mapping (VSM) as a powerful visual tool to analyze, optimize, and streamline complex workflows especially within oil & gas, shipyard, dimensional control, and engineering services operations.
VSM identifies every step in a process from concept to completion highlighting both value-adding and non-value-adding activities. This enables our clients to pinpoint inefficiencies, reduce waste, and increase productivity across project lifecycles.
Our VSM Approach Includes:
-
End-to-End Process Mapping
Visualize the entire workflow from material receiving, engineering design, fabrication, inspection, and final delivery. -
Bottleneck & Waste Identification
Isolate delays, rework loops, and communication gaps that hinder schedule adherence or impact quality. -
Lead Time & Cycle Time Analysis
Quantify value-added vs. non-value-added time across tasks to improve resource utilization. -
Integration with Lean & Six Sigma
Combine VSM with Lean and Six Sigma methodologies for maximum process optimization and cost reduction. -
Action-Oriented Future State Mapping
Propose optimized process flows to support faster project execution, fewer quality defects, and lower costs. -
Digital Enablement
Use digital tools to simulate process changes and track improvements in real time.
Benefits to Our Clients:
- Enhanced visibility of project inefficiencies
- Reduction in turnaround times for site activities and deliverables
- Improved cross-functional collaboration across engineering, QC, and operations teams
- Better resource planning and on-time delivery
- Support for continuous improvement aligned with ISO 9001 and API standards
