Product Description

The Medical Devices Manufacturer Value Streams comprise all the major value streams typical in a medical device maker. The Medical Devices Manufacturer Value Streams are an essential and integral part of business architecture, and instead of starting from scratch, our pre-built deliverable jumpstarts the process, accelerating time to value. However, as each company has unique processes – with dozens of variations – our deliverable is a springboard, not a fully baked, customized consulting deliverable.

(As the Medical Devices Manufacturer Value Streams is a digital deliverable, we do not accept returns or issue refunds. Please read the product description carefully before purchasing.)

Medical Devices Manufacturer Value Streams Deliverable:

• A set of 22 value streams detailed the primary and supporting activities of the value chain. The value streams are decomposed into one step of high-level detail.
• Bonus: A Guide to Value Streams.

Enterprise and Business Architects can use the Media and Entertainment value streams as a straw model and customize them to the needs of their enterprise.

(Note: While we reference business capabilities, journey maps, and process maps, please realize that this product pertains to only the value streams. We offer other products which span business capabilities. Furthermore, the value streams are in simple PowerPoint format and are editable.)

Medical Devices Manufacturer Value Streams:

Value Streams in business architecture represent the sequence of activities that deliver a product or service, thus generating value for the customer. They provide a holistic, end-to-end view of work processes, spanning from the initial customer interaction to the final delivery of the product or service. Through this overarching view, Value Streams help uncover how an organization achieves its strategic objectives and satisfies customer needs.

The relationship between Business Capabilities and Value Streams in business architecture echoes the Yin and Yang principle. Business Capabilities encapsulate what an organization can do, entailing the necessary skills, resources, and technologies to carry out its strategy. On the other hand, Value Streams outline how these capabilities are harnessed to create customer value. Business Capabilities embody potential, while Value Streams bring this potential into action. Together, they offer a comprehensive understanding of an organization, supporting strategic decision-making and alignment with strategic goals.

Value Streams are particularly crucial for a Medical Devices Manufacturing company. Such firms often navigate complex, interconnected processes across various departments and stakeholders. Value Streams offer a comprehensive, clear view of these processes, enabling the detection and rectification of inefficiencies, bottlenecks, or gaps. Ensuring every activity contributes to the value delivered to the end customer minimizes waste and maximizes productivity.

Medical device makers can leverage Value Streams in numerous ways. In research and development, Value Stream Mapping can identify areas for enhancement to expedite product innovation. It can also detect non-value-adding activities in the manufacturing process, such as unnecessary component movements or extended waiting times. In supply chain management, Value Stream Mapping can help reduce lead times, optimize logistics, and minimize inventory costs. Value Streams can streamline complaint handling or query resolution processes for customer service, improving customer satisfaction.

Furthermore, Value Streams lay a solid foundation for documenting detailed process maps and customer journey maps. Process maps provide a granular view of individual operations, ensuring alignment with the broader Value Stream to prevent process inefficiencies or miscommunications between departments. Similarly, customer journey maps, which trace a customer’s interactions with the organization, can be aligned with Value Streams. This alignment ensures every customer touchpoint contributes to the overall value, enhancing the customer experience. Therefore, Value Streams are invaluable, enabling organizations to efficiently and effectively deliver value.

The Value Streams are a result of several consulting engagements at reputed enterprises. While they are practical and based on real-life scenarios, each organization is different with divergent processes, and hence you will need to customize them to your company’s unique needs.

How to Use Value Streams Deliverables:

• We strive to provide a generic and representative straw model Value Streams typical to an industry. However, as each firm differs, the specific steps in a value stream may vary – sometimes marginally and sometimes substantially. Business architects and process experts must use the deliverable as a springboard and customize it to each company’s unique needs.
• After tailoring the value streams to reflect the internal reality of your business flows, business architects can leverage the value streams to cross-map with business capabilities, detailed process maps, customer journey maps, and other artifacts to glean insight and understand the footprint and relationships between these entities.
• The value streams can be a basis for detailing the processes with additional information (actors, actions, data, systems, etc.) and crafting customer journey maps.
