Course Description

The key concept of Lean manufacturing is to create value for your customers. Today, more and more companies are finding that Value Stream Management is fundamental to value creation. Value Stream Management is a systematic approach to visually communicating product flow and the process waste associated with its transformation. From our Value Stream Map we gain insight into improvement opportunities, the design of our future state and the measurements necessary to monitor overall operational performance. Value Stream Management deals with the practical realities of enterprise-wide waste identification and elimination. It allows employees at all levels to see the value chain, employ the tools of waste elimination to focused improvement projects and realize the gains that translate to value for the customers. The Value Stream Management technique will allow you to

• focus on the critical elements specific to each value stream
• implement lead time and cost reduction techniques using a structured approach
• use value stream mapping to identify and share critical issues and improvement opportunities
