In the present era of competitiveness, every manufacturing unit has been trying to go lean. In the process they use various types of lean tools as per the requirement of the process. Lean is a working philosophy designed to produce better products by using less resources to obtain more profit and has been applied to vast variety of manufacturing sectors. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Special type of flow chart that uses symbols known as "the language of Lean" to depict and improve the flow of inventory and information.This tool has been used to document current lead time, inventory levels and cycle times to determine the ratio of value added to total lead time of the product line being analysed we have studied production process of one product and draw the current state value stream map. From the VSM analysis we found out the problems and gave some recommendations to improve the production lead time and provide a future state value stream map. And also we derive From This Review Paper different application of VSM
