Use Value Stream Maps for Dock Delay

The teach Value stream mapping makes material and information flow visible from trigger to customer. Its mechanism is separating processing time from elapsed lead time, then exposing waiting, rework, and excess movement. In logistics, the hidden constraint is often not the task people are doing; it is the queue, missing signal, exception hold, or handoff between tasks.

Visual modules Use stat tiles for the signal, a before-after panel for the changed decision, and a marigold common-trap callout for the shortcut to avoid.
