Value Stream Map for Launching a New Product at Amazon:
1. Conceptualization Phase
○ Actual Time: 30 days
○ Ideal Time: 20 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (30 / 20) x 100% = 150%
2. Market Research & Analysis
○ Actual Time: 45 days
○ Ideal Time: 30 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (45 / 30) x 100% = 150%
3. Product Design & Development
○ Actual Time: 90 days
○ Ideal Time: 60 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (90 / 60) x 100% = 150%
4. Sourcing & Procurement of Materials
○ Actual Time: 60 days
○ Ideal Time: 40 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (60 / 40) x 100% = 150%
5. Manufacturing & Production
○ Actual Time: 120 days
○ Ideal Time: 80 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (120 / 80) x 100% = 150%
6. Quality Control & Testing
○ Actual Time: 30 days
○ Ideal Time: 20 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (30 / 20) x 100% = 150%
7. Warehousing & Inventory Management
○ Actual Time: 60 days
○ Ideal Time: 40 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (60 / 40) x 100% = 150%
8. Marketing & Promotion
○ Actual Time: 60 days
○ Ideal Time: 40 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (60 / 40) x 100% = 150%
9. Sales & Distribution
○ Actual Time: 45 days
○ Ideal Time: 30 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (45 / 30) x 100% = 150%
10. Customer Feedback & Iteration
○ Actual Time: 30 days
○ Ideal Time: 20 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (30 / 20) x 100% = 150%
11. Product Launch
○ Actual Time: 15 days
○ Ideal Time: 10 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (15 / 10) x 100% = 150%
12. Post-Launch Analysis & Improvement
○ Actual Time: 45 days
○ Ideal Time: 30 days
○ Efficiency Percentage: (45 / 30) x 100% = 150%
Summary:In this simplified VSM, every phase of launching a new product at Amazon has an
efficiency percentage of 150%, which means there is room for improvement in terms of reducing
lead times and increasing efficiency. The goal would be to identify bottlenecks, streamline
processes, and optimize each phase to reduce the actual time closer to the ideal time, ultimately
improving overall efficiency in product launches.
