Pitch: Pitch is the amount of time required to make a standard container of finished product. If the standard container is 60 pieces and the takt time is 45 seconds, the pitch is 45 minutes.

Marking up the current-state VSM

The future-state VSM begins as a markup of the current-state VSM. Don’t start with a clean sheet of paper! Make changes directly on the current-state VSM. Identify where and what type of improvements you intend to make. Based on the team’s evaluations and observations, indicate what changes will address the issues. The markup technique is to indicate the changes in a sunburst icon called a kaizen burst.

Marking all of the areas you want to change doesn’t imply that you’ll necessarily make all the changes at the same time, but it defines an endpoint and scope for this particular improvement phase. With this picture, you can predict the type and extend of improvement you anticipate from the implementation. By identifying such things as how much NVA time will be reduced, and how much key process times are reduced, you can quantify the improvement goals.
