served from 8.45 am
We use the "Training to See"
package developed by John
Shook for Lean Enterprise Institute. Delegates will conduct a
series of exercises so that they are able to translate how the tool
can be used in their environment - be it high volume repetitive
manufacturing or bespoke made to order
products/services.
Prerequisites:
This workshop assumes you are familiar with basic lean terms and
concepts as described in LeanThinking by Jim Womack and Dan
Jones. For maximum benefit we strongly recommend that you read
Learning to See by Mike Rother and John Shook to
develop a value stream perspective before attending the workshop.
Both books can be ordered from Lean Enterprise Australia at its
bookstore
Description:
Value-stream maps are the blueprints for lean transformations. This
workshop shows you how to make and apply this fundamental and
critical tool, based on the Lean Enterprise Institute's
groundbreaking value-stream mapping workbook, Learning to
See, which has introduced the mapping tool to thousands of
your colleagues around the world.
The value-stream map is a
paper-and-pencil representation of every process in the material
and information flow, along with key data. It differs significantly
from tools such as process mapping or layout diagrams because it
includes information flow as well as material flow.
Mapping is a critical initial
step in lean conversions because it shows you where you could apply
lean techniques, such as kaizen events, for maximum effect.
Mapping helps you avoid the common mistake of cherry-picking
individual lean techniques, which creates isolated islands of
improvement and limited benefits. The mapping 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, discussions, 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. 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 operators, engineers,
and managers a common language and process for continuous
improvement.
Course Outline:
This workshop will sharpen your "eyes for waste" and "eyes for
flow." Using a manufacturing case study you'll learn how to
identify a product family, how to see the entire value stream for a
particular product family, how to map the value stream to identify
and eliminate waste, what makes a value stream lean, and how to
develop a plan to achieve results. Workshop topics
include:
- Value-stream improvement vs.
process improvement
- Exercise: Drawing a
current-state map
- What is a lean
flow?
- Individual efficiency vs.
system efficiency
- Build to supermarket or to
shipping?
- Continuous flow
processing
- Scheduling one
point
- Designing a lean
flow
- Exercise: Drawing a
future-state map
- How to create a plan for
implementing the future state
- Value Stream Maps in a
non-manufacturing setting
Who Should Attend:
Those who would benefit from attending this workshop
include:
- Operators, engineers,
managers, supervisors, technical support personnel and change
agents
- Any industry with multi-step
processes
- Organizations at any level
of a lean journey, particularly (though not exclusively) those just
beginning
Learning
Objectives:
At the end of the workshop you should be able to:
- Understand and explain to
others the benefits of value-stream mapping.
- Draw a current state
map.
- Identify major lean
concepts.
- Draw a future state
map.
- Develop a basic
implementation plan.
