Value Stream Mapping

Value stream mapping (VSM) is a high level tool that enables a management team in a manufacturing environment to take a systems approach to implementing operational excellence and customer satisfaction. It is of most benefit when carried out in the design phase of process development. A VSM workshop is facilitated on an annual basis during which "one years worth”  of projects is identified to further enhance customer service and process performance.

Learning Objective and Deliverables
At the end of this workshop participants will:

  • understand the purpose and format of a high level value stream map;
  • have a physical detailed VSM for the product (order processing, planning, purchasing, production, quality and distribution);
  • have identified measures of customer value in key processes;
  • have a list of prioritised issues and action items on which to work on during a one year period, that will deliver a more robust, lower cost and customer friendly process, and
  • have identified key performance metrics, the achievement of which will help to guarantee consistent delivery of customer value.

The VSM forms the backbone of the continuous improvement roadmap for a product and will largely determine the project resources & training effort required over each year in the future. In a lean organisation the VSM workshop is repeated annually.

Who should attend?
VSM is facilitated with the product management team, with key operations, engineering, supply chain and operations team lead personnel also in attendance.

Value Stream Mapping

 

The aptly titled book "Learning to See" was a Shingo Research Prize recipient in 1999. It is filled with actual maps, diagrams and illustrations all aimed at helping everyone understand their business as a process, or a series of processes. Value stream mapping is an excellent tool to begin the Lean journey. It represents a snapshot of a process with all of the time, material and communication data added to help understand what is currently happening.

Using various Lean tools such as Kanban, SMED and problem-solving, the aim is to construct a future state value stream map to predict the process improvements.

This results in a strategy for the team in an easy-to-understand format

Who should attend?

The programme is aimed at any personnel engaging in business process improvement.
