As the Future State Map is being created, it is extremely important to make sure
that all kaizen bursts that were initially drawn on the map are included in the
final product, if they are to be a part of the change process. Place the bursts as
close to the location of the change in the value stream as possible. In this way, it
is much easier to identify at what point or points in the value stream that effort
will have to be applied to make change happen.
