Step 3: Take Measurements: Identify the time required for each step:

Value-Added (VA)
Any activity that the customer is willing to pay for. Why the customer is here, such as:
Treatments Assembly
Any activity, operation, or use of resource that does not conform to customer expectations. Non-value-added describes something that the customer does not perceive as adding value, even though it may be necessary because of current process limitations, such as:
Rework Inspection Waits Moves
Summarize Information
Step 5: Summarize information:
Total the number of VA steps and NVA steps Total the time required for VA steps and NVA steps Determine % of value-added work: % VA = VA Time VA time + NVA time x 100%
Ideal process is one with no NVA activity and minimized VA steps and time
