Value Stream Mapping (VSM) & Process Mapping Training

in house, 2 days
 
Training’s goal:
Through this training, EXEGENS® helps you to design your processes and to implement Value Stream Mapping technique (VSM). We help you plan and design your processes to support continuous improvements in your business. VSM is the Lean technique used to analyze the flow of materials (physical flow) and of information about products and services required by the client. The origin of this technique is at Toyota, which is called "Material and Information Flow Mapping". VSM goal is to improve Lead Time. By VSM technicque we are able to answer the question: "What customers really want from our processes and activities?". In the value chain (Value Stream) are all the steps and processes needed to achieve / sell a specific product or service, from the customer’s requirement to the raw materials or goods from the suppliers. Analyzing the physical and information flows, we will eliminate the process sequences that do not add value for the customer and the activities that create losses. Often losses are created by activities that do not add value.
VSM is the Lean technique used to analyze the flow of materials (physical flow) and of information about the products and services required by the client. VSM is a tool based on 5S technique. Kaizen and problem solving tecniques (PDCA, A3, 8D, cause effect diagram/ Fishbone/ Ishikawa Diagram etc.) are Lean techniques complementary with VSM. To reach the Lean state, most often processes are redesigned.
 
EXEGENS® provides you a tool for improving the times of your business by:
- Structural approach of the VSM steps;
- Analysis of physical and information flows of the business;
- Identifying losses (Muda, Mura and Muri; 5M + Q + S);
- Explaining the technique to all the people involved;
- Providing a framework for approaching the improvements (Kaizen);
- Storyboard;
- VSM report.
 
Summary of the training session:
Day I
1) Goals and Objectives of Value Stream Mapping (definitions, LEAN performance, Performance Management and Process Management, Value Stream Management utility).  
2) Commit to Lean (Gathering information for Value Stream Mapping, understanding customers and market demand, Pull Vs. Push, information flow and material flow, understanding capacity, VSM storyboards).
3) Chose the Value Stream (selecting Value Streams for improvement).
4) Learn about Lean for VSM (three stages of Lean application: demand, flow and leveling);
Case Study in automotive industry.
5) The current state Value Stream Mapping (VSM current status, Lean performance indicators);
Case Study in automotive industry continued.

Day II
6) VSM Metrics (definition, method of calculation, implications, connections);
Case Study in automotive industry continued.
7) The future state Value Stream Mapping (improving the three stages of Lean application: demand, flow and leveling).
Case Study in automotive industry continued.
8) Process Map and performance indicators (identification, customer segmentation and understanding, 10 steps for Process Mapping, examples of KPIs, process analysis and examination, analysis of losses, creating action plans, prioritization criteria, symbols).
9) Create and Implement Kaizen Plans (Kaizen point/flow); Video example.
 
Who should attend: top management, facilitators, managers, operators.
