Allen MorgensternFather of Process Analysis and Work Simplification
According to Isao Kato what we call value stream mapping origins can be traced back to Allen Morgenstern who is considered the Father of Process Analysis and Work Simplification. The first complete description I can find of the process is in the 1944 Production Handbook edited by L.P. Alford and John R. Bangs and in notes from 1939 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This process was used by Toyota (and is still occasionally used) until the 1990′s when they started to use a tool they developed called the Material and Information Flow Analysis Form. It is a variation of this form that we now call Value Stream Mapping.
