Value Stream Mapping For Manufacturing

 

Description:

Value Stream Mapping visually maps the flow of materials and information from the time products come in the back door as raw material and exit the loading dock as finished products.

 

Mapping activities include: cycle times, down times, in-process inventory, material moves, and information flow paths; and helps to guide the process toward the future desired state.

 

This workshop shows you how to develop and apply this fundamental and critical tool, based on the Lean Enterprise Institute's value stream mapping workbook, Learning to See, which has introduced the mapping tool to thousands of people around the world.

 

Mapping is a critical initial step in lean transformations because it shows you where you can apply lean techniques and have the biggest impact. Mapping helps you avoid the common mistake of cherry-picking individual lean techniques, which creates isolated islands of improvement and limited benefits. The cycle of mapping current conditions then quickly drawing and implementing a leaner future state improves the overall flow of value to the customer and delivers the biggest benefits.

 

Benefits:

Through instruction, discussion, group activities, and hands-on exercises, this workshop will show you how to see value, differentiate value from waste, and eliminate the sources of waste, by creating accurate current-state maps and leaner future-state maps for a product family or service. You'll also develop plans for implementing the future state.

 

Mapping helps you:

• Establish a direction for the company's improvement efforts-maps become the blueprints for the lean transformation.

• Target Kaizen activities for bigger and more sustainable impact.

• Gain a better understanding of the linkages between material and information flow.

• Visualize improvements to the overall production flow, instead of spot improvements to single processes.

• Create the basis for an effective lean implementation plan by designing how a facility's door-to-door material and information flow could operate.

• Give company a common language and process for continuous improvement.
