value stream mapping
workshop
Discovering Waste and Bottlenecks to Improve Flow.
Description
Value stream mapping (VSM) is a powerful Lean technique used to analyze and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a consumer.
Understanding the complete value chain of a product or service is a fundamental part of a Lean enterprise, and the first step in beginning a Lean implementation program. With VSM, organizations can identify where their resources are tied up in attempting to deliver a product or service to their customers. By analyzing and identifying waste, organizations can then develop and implement future state maps to improve their key performance indicators and achieve Lean transformation.
This two-day workshop provides a step-by-step instruction to enable participants to create current state and future state value stream maps. You will learn how to identify opportunities to achieve the future state that have the greatest impact on the business as well as customer value. The VSM technique can be applied to both manufacturing and service organizations.
In this workshop, you will learn how the critical tool of value stream mapping and analysis helps your organization see waste and opportunities, and envision a Lean future state. By the end of the workshop, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to lead a VSM project within your organization and drive continuous improvement.
