Value-Stream Mapping for Manufacturing - Online Workshop
Based on the proven methodology presented in LEI's award-winning Learning to See workbook that introduced value-stream mapping to thousands of people around the world.
Learn how to use the essential and fundamental value-stream mapping approach to focus lean improvements where they will have the biggest impact.
Online Value-Stream Mapping for Manufacturing workshop teaches the proven methodology introduced by John Shook and Mike Rother in LEI's Learning to See workbook. It has been tested by thousands of Lean Thinkers who have attended LEI's classroom-based Value-Stream Mapping for Manufacturing workshop to learn how to identify and eliminate waste in their current processes in order to achieve a leaner future state.
This online workshop will help you understand the practical and theoretical aspects of value-stream mapping so you can immediately begin improving the flow of value to customers. Using a manufacturing case study, you will learn step-by-step what is a value stream; what information to gather for mapping; how to identify a product family to map; what makes a value stream lean; how to draw a current-state map using mapping icons; how to create a future-state vision; how to create an implementation plan; and much, much more.
The workshop allows you to move at your own pace through five clear, comprehensive sessions. After each session, a brief quiz checks your understanding of the material. Most importantly, the workshop is designed to be used in conjunction with an actual shop-floor mapping project, an effective learn-by-doing approach.
