Consider either the process you used earlier this week, or a process from everyday life, and model a customer demand situation. Provide an example, which shows the cycle time and takt time for the process. Add the times involved in the process to the simplified value stream map or make a new simplified value stream map if you are using an example from everyday life. Note any non$-$value added steps in the process and describe how you would minimize this time. Discuss the efficiency of the entire process and how you might improve it to meet the modeled customer demand and$/$or increase profitability. Discuss the maximum capacity of the process $$ is there a limit to how much production there is in the system?

Submit your calculations. Then explain your rationale for the changes you made, including the new calculations that show how you are able to meet the demands of both customers. Submit the value stream map, including the cycle and takt times. Also, submit your description of the value and non$-$value added steps and your description of the efficiency of the process.
