| Value Stream Flow Kaizen Workshops |
3 or 4 Day On-Site Workshop
|
 |
 |
Value Stream Flow Kaizen Workshop Objectives:
• familiarize participants with just-in-time production principles & methodologies
• assist participants in seeing the flow of their model or pilot value stream
• create a comprehensive current state value stream map of the organization’s
model value stream’s flow
• assist participants in understanding how lean principles and practices can
significantly improve flow within the model value stream
• assist participants to visualize, then develop an aggressive, yet feasible enterprise future state improvement design and an effective value stream transformation plan
• assist participants in developing an effective lean servant leadership framework
and sustaining performance metrics for their model value stream
|
To achieve these objectives, participants will:
• practice, through discussions and case study illustration, basic value stream flow mapping and kaizen concepts, team building, and value stream management
• develop, both current and lean future state maps of their focus model value stream
• learn value stream kaizen process leadership roles and responsibilities
|
|
 |
A day prior to each workshop, the workshop coach will make a process flow assessment of the Model value stream. |

Completing the Kaizen |
 |
A fourth day is necessary when the model or pilot value stream
is complex or is lengthy.
