Download Full Workshop Details Here
Workshop Summary
A key lean capability is to develop a lean value stream. A value stream is all the actions, both value creating and non-value creating required to bring a product from concept to launch and from order to delivery. This workshop takes delegates through the process of value stream mapping, introducing you to the issues you will come across as you map. Delegates will conduct a series of exercises so that they are able to translate how the tool can be used in their environment – be it high volume repetitive manufacturing, bespoke made to order products/services or administrative processes. Most importantly “Mapping Your Processes” explains the questions required to design Future State value streams and walks through relevant examples from LEA’s library of maps.
Purpose: Aims & Objectives
The purpose of this workshop is:
- Understand the process of value stream mapping.
- Understand how to design Future State value streams using the 8 future state guidelines.
- Explore how to use the value stream mapping process to implement the future state.
