Value Stream Mapping Workshop

Value Stream Mapping Workshop March 24, 2015

[share]

Value Stream Mapping: 
Hands-on training for the small and mid-sized manufacturer

 
JOHN WOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Workforce Development Center
4220 Kochs Lane
Quincy, Illinois
APRIL 21 & 28
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

 

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) enables a company to identify waste in manufacturing and administrative processes using objective data. Cross-functional teams develop a plan to reduce or eliminate waste by streamlining work processes and cutting lead times. VSM often results in reduced costs, improved communication and increased quality. During this training, IMECexperts will use case studies and process examples that participants identify in their own organizations to guide you through concept training, application, and value stream improvement implementation.

Through Value Stream Mapping, a team of employees can map all steps in the current state from internal or external customer hand-offs back to raw material. Value-added and non-value-added activities and information flows in both manufacturing and administrative process will be assessed with the goal to develop a future state vision that acts as a blueprint for on-going Continuous Improvement activities. The Future State often represents a significant change compared to the way the company currently operates. The participants in the VSM training will develop an implementation strategy to make the Future State a reality. The most urgent needs will be addressed first, and can typically be accomplished in a very short time frame with the appropriate resources applied.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

The workshop illustrates the basic skills involved in Value Stream Mapping. This group training exercise is designed to introduce participants to the concepts and outcomes of VSM development.

DEVELOPING A VALUE STREAM MAP

Following the workshop, IMEC is available to facilitate a cross-functional group of your employees through the Value Stream Mapping process, implementing the techniques learned on a selected company value stream
