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.
