Strengthen your business with an operations strategy that embraces lean principles. Every business needs an operating strategy to support its business plan, yet many manufacturers don’t have one. To develop an operating strategy, it helps to view all your products from a system perspective. This is best accomplished using a tool called Value Stream Mapping.

 

With Value Stream Mapping you can easily illustrate the movement of all information and materials used in your process. It helps identify waste throughout the entire system and develop an improved strategy to meet the needs of customers.

 

This workshop teaches participants to use the Value Stream Mapping tool and see the value in their organization, identify waste and put in place a plan to minimize or eliminate it. This training session based on the book ‘Learning to See’ and developed by the Lean Enterprise Institute, walks participants through the Value Stream Mapping tool and the application of Lean Principles using a simple case study.

 

Participants will:
• Create a Current State Map using standard icons
• Learn about the eight wastes and some key Lean tools
• Create a Future State Map using standard icons
• Create an implementation plan to achieve the Future State

 

Who Should Attend: Plant Managers, Manufacturing Managers and Supervisors, Production Control, Logistics, Quality and Maintenance personnel who have an on-going responsibility for manufacturing performance and improvements.

Cost: $395
