Abstract
Value stream mapping (VSM) is a popular tool to identify opportunities for improving process efficiency. Originally designed to streamline manufacturing processes, VSM can also be applied to service processes. In this research, VSM is applied to academic advising of undergraduate students in a large department of a major university. Improvements to the advising processes are suggested following a VSM analysis of the current procedures.
