Training To See: Value Stream Mapping Workshop
Description
Based on feedback from customers and LEI faculty members, we have improved this popular value-stream mapping training kit with a revamped CD, more hands-on mapping materials to get your teams started, templates of key forms, and a starter lean library. The kit enables you to take people through the exercise of selecting a product family, mapping its current state to identify the root causes of waste, mapping a much leaner future state, and developing a plan to implement the future state to achieve immediate results. The new kit includes:
- A Facilitator’s Guide for leading your own value-stream mapping workshops, including tips and suggestions for having a successful training session
- 20 Participant Guides so students can follow along with the facilitator
- A CD-ROM containing PowerPoint slides for the facilitator, and five forms for starting and sustaining the transformation:
- a product-family matrix blank form for identifying product families to map
- communication forms for facilitators, including a memo to confirm attendance at the mapping workshop
- a workshop evaluation form, and a follow-up letter to attendees to gauge their initial progress
a certificate of completion, customizable for your company - an annual value-stream plan template showing goals, steps, checkpoints, and deadlines
- a value-stream review template to evaluate progress toward each objective on your future-state maps and manage obstacles
- A video (VHS) with Jim Womack's opening and closing remarks
- A rugged Cordura® nylon carrying bag with roomy pockets for all your mapping essentials
- An 11-by-17-inch Value-Stream Mapping Pad with 50 sheets
- A Value-Stream Mapping Stencil with 32 icons to help you draw
- A stop watch for capturing cycle times
- A calculator for figuring takt times and other value-stream data
- 20 mechanical pencils — with erasers, of course — for drawing maps
- A 90-day free trial copy of eVSM Value-Stream Mapping Software for converting hand-drawn maps into electronic ones for sharing and presentations
- A starter lean library consisting of Lean Thinking, revised and updated 2nd edition; the Learning to See workbook; and the Lean Lexicon, graphical glossary of key lean terms and concepts.
