Professional Development Meeting
Value Stream Mapping - A Road to Success
Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Like many others in recent years, we are struggling to find ways to help companies think of "flow" instead of discrete processes, and to implement lean systems instead of isolated process improvements. Value Stream Mapping is used by practioners to depict current and future, or "ideal" state in the process of developing implementation plans to install lean systems. Our ability to "see" the value stream enables us to leverage lean solutions to "increase the velocity of flow through the value stream."
This presentation introduces the "change agent" to the following concepts:
1. What are Value-Added Activities?
2. What is waste?
3. Overview of Value Stream Mapping
4. The Lean Value Stream
5. Increasing the velocity of flow
