Lean Manufacturing - Introduction to Value Stream Mapping - South

In this course, participants will receive an introduction to Value Stream Mapping and will apply the learned principles to a specified product family in the company. This course teaches participants how to gather the information required to eliminate all non-value adding waste and how to use the information to plan the implementation of Lean activities. Participants will learn the steps necessary for creating a current state value stream map from the customer back to raw material and develop a future state vision to act as a blueprint for lean activities. The future-state map created by the class will act as a blueprint for additional lean manufacturing training and implementations, leading to significant reductions in lead times, inventory, and floor space, while increasing productivity.
