Abstract: The implementation of digital Value Stream Mapping (VSM) can enhance the efficiency of business processes (BPs) in engineering knowledge work by identifying and eliminating waste, with a positive impact on sustainability. The study utilizes a combination of action research and case study methodology. It begins with an extensive literature review, followed by a case study conducted within an engineering-to-order (ETO) electrical company, where insights are gathered through interviews. The techniques used include a literature review on VSM applications across different industries, a case study implementation of VSM in an ETO company, and interviews with 10 employees to identify process inefficiencies and improvement opportunities. The study reveals that digital VSM effectively identifies waste and non-value-adding (NVA) activities in engineering knowledge work, offering actionable insights for improving process efficiency and sustainability. This contributes to both academic understanding and practical applications in industrial settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
