Figure 2 Current state value stream mar total durations between tasks or lead times (arrows above tasks, spanning from one triangle to another one). Accordingly, the difference between the total time in the sys- tem (sum of lead times shown above arrows) and the proces- sing time (sum of times shown under each task box) process in a conversion task. This time is an upper-bound estimate of value-added time. The triangles represent the time a pipe support waits until it is processed by the next task. In and by themselves, triangles are holding places and they do not have any specific duration. Instead, the VSM shows

engineering firms appear to prefer to manage the drawing review process themselves. standardization. Industry practitioners suggested that the number should not exceed 100-150 configurations. A smaller number of configurations may further reduce engineering time, though it may also result in over dimensioning and inferior performance. Besides reducing system complexity, standardization would ease the training required of new engi- neers entering the field. This is a concern because fewer engi- neers are entering the market and today’s engineers learn how to design pipe supports by experience in practice; it is not a subject commonly taught in schools.
