VALUE STREAM MAPPING Training
ARE YOU
EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES? |
| • |
Wondering how to implement Lean manufacturing principles
in your company? |
| • |
Unsure where to start making Lean changes
in your production process? |
| • |
Wondering what Lean improvements will provide
the most benefits? |
| • |
Looking for a good way to organize and prioritize
your Lean improvement activities? |
| • |
Wishing you had a simple way to visualize
your process to help identify and communicate areas for improvement? |
…If the answer is "Yes,"
then MMEC's Value Stream Mapping
training may be what you need.
PREREQUISITE: Lean
Manufacturing workshop & simulation
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The Lean Workshop/Simulation has
shown you how to reduce waste and improve your processes, and now
you are wondering how to get started. Value Stream Mapping, the
preferred tool for identifying and understanding where waste and
non-value added activities exist, will help get you started. It's
a pencil and paper tool that helps you see and understand the flow
of material and information as a product makes its way through your
production process. Value Stream Mapping is a way to evaluate your
current production process, identify the value added and non-value
added steps, and envision an improved (future) production process.
This course teaches you how to thoroughly analyze
your production processes and related material/information flow
for a specific product or product family. You will learn how to
effectively create a map which illustrates the current state of
these processes for the purpose of identifying where waste and non-value-added
activities reside. Finally, you'll learn how to create a vision
and map for your operation's future state, targeting specific ways
to eliminate waste, improve processes and create a prioritized implementation
plan for guiding improvements to completion. What
you learn will allow you to map processes periodically for continuous
improvement.
LEARN HOW TO:
| • |
Tie together Lean concepts
and improvement techniques that positively impact your organization's
bottom line. |
| • |
Visualize the flow of a manufacturing operation
or product line (via a Current State Map in an actual manufacturing
setting). |
| • |
Identify "sources" of waste and
non-value-added activity. |
| • |
Speak a common language about the process
and opportunities for improvement. |
| • |
Create a vision of how operations can be
improved (via a Future State Map). |
| • |
Prioritize improvement actions that address
non-value-added activity and waste. |
| • |
Develop an implementation plan with assigned
responsibilities, accountability, and timelines. |
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE: Manufacturing/shop
floor supervisors, managers and/or team leaders.
COURSE LENGTH & FORMAT:
8 Hours; classroom learning combined with
actual onsite operations mapping. This course can be offered internally,
or a group of manufacturers can come together to learn about the
tool, with one manufacturer agreeing to host the onsite value stream
mapping activity.
CLASS SIZE GUIDELINES:
Public Event: 10 minimum / 20 maximum
Private Company Event: Variable (depending on internal demand)
