[en] The main objectives of this chapter are to elucidate the necessity of a standardized Value Stream Management (VSM) and to clarify how this standard can effectively increase corporate performance within cross-enterprise supply chain networks (SCNs). VSM is an effective tool to collect, evaluate and continuously improve product and information flows within companies in a common and standardized manner. The findings of this chapter are not only valid for consistent product and information flows, but are representative for the relevance of standards in general.
In a globalized economy, standards need to be generally accepted and valid for all countries. Thus, corporate or national standards, only have limited impact. The International Standardization Organization (ISO) provides the means to develop, negotiate and communicate standards, which are globally binding. This chapter shares the experience of ISO 22468 standard development within ISO/TC 154 WG7 and proves its applicability by an administrative use case.
