Value Stream Mapping VSM Course - Lean Factory School

Practical course on optimizing business processes with value stream mapping

In the Lean approach, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is the tool for mapping the entire value stream within a business process, at the level of materials, processes and communications, allowing the identification of waste and areas for improvement. The application of this tool, also involves establishing the desired future state (Future State Map) and the definition of an improvement plan with specific KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to be monitored for its achievement.

Value Stream Mapping thus enables a systematic focus on continuous efficiency in the production process, with a progressive reduction in so-called lead times.

OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, participants will acquire a precise method for:

Have a clear and comprehensive view of the flows for a product family
calculate the Flow Index
Identify waste and non-value-added activities (NVAA - Not value added activities or "muda")
Create a Future State Map that allows for the reduction of existing waste
Coordinate the use of the different Lean tools (by way of example Kanban, 5S, JIT, TPM, SMED...)

PROGRAM

The day includes:

Value stream mapping theory: production families, flows and symbology
Data needed: UpTime (UT), DownTime (DT), Setup Time (SU), Process Time (TP), Cycle Time (TC), Takt Time and Lead Time
Phase balancing
Action plan: how to map and improve the steps

Learning by Doing session: Team exercise on value stream mapping.
