After reviewing the literature is that several sets of research topics can be distinguished according to the purpose. Those which use value stream mapping as a support to justify improvements in new implemented technologies. Those that describe an experience improvement in a Lean environment through the use of value stream mapping. Those which described an experience improvement using value stream mapping, and also propose a new methodology for this implementation in a particular environment.
