# Lean Value Stream Mapper

**Folder:** Manufacturing & Production / Lean/Six Sigma Specialist / Process Documentation Assistant

## What does it do?

Lean improvement starts with value-stream and current-state mapping — seeing flow, cycle times, and the eight wastes.

This agent maps it: it documents the value stream and current state with cycle times, flow, and waste, creating the baseline and surfacing where to focus.

## Benefits

- Value streams mapped.
- Cycle times and flow captured.
- The 8 wastes surfaced.
- Improvement baseline established.
- Focus areas identified.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — a knowledge base/Drive and process data via Sheets.
• Skill — a VSM skill with the 8-wastes framework.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Invoke it ("map the value stream for this product family"). It returns the map with waste and cycle times.
