This value stream mapping training will focus on Service Provider Industry and Office Applications through Information needed to support and drive the implementation of Lean and Operational Excellence using Value Stream Mapping.
An Executive Overview: Information you need to support and drive the implementation of Lean and Operational Excellence using Value Stream Mapping and Lean Six Sigma Metrics in Service Provider Industry and Office Applications.
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) includes many different techniques developed to help organizations visualize and measure what happens during the process of adding value in the form of products or services. For our purposes, “value” is intrinsically “what the customer is willing to pay (and wait) for,” the good or services being produced.
Properly developed Value Stream Maps:
- Create a vision of the future by uncovering wastes and opportunities to produce flow, and making them visible to all.
- Enable broad participation in shaping the future.
- Reduce the risk of creating “islands of excellence” with Lean Six Sigma concepts without improving the total Value Stream’s capability, from your customers’ perspective.
