What is meant by the term "product family" and what is its relationship to value stream accounting


Most organizations produce more than one product, which fall into natural lines or families. Product families share common processes from the point of placing the order to shipping the finished goods to the customer.

Value stream accounting cuts across functional and departmental lines to include costs related to the product family such as marketing, selling expenses, product design, engineering, materials purchasing, distribution, and more, but makes no distinction between direct costs and indirect costs.
