    Value-Stream Management & Mapping

    This presentation teaches the method of implementing Value Stream Mapping and is designed to create the awareness and necessity of the Value Stream Management process.  Our speaker will introduce the use of successful lean tools for selecting product families, mapping the value streams of selected families, and creating a plan and management system to transform the value stream to achieve customer expectations.  The final outcome of Value Stream Management is the creation of a complete visual plan for lean transformations, resulting in lower costs, short lead times and improved quality.

    Please plan to join us for this very informative presentation.  No matter where you are in your Lean Journey…or even if you have not started it yet…you will learn about many valuable Lean tools that can be used back  in your organization!
