Value Stream Flow Kaizen Workshops

Just-In-Time Maintenance Shop Supply Flow Kaizen
5 Day On-Site Workshop

Developing World Class Performance in Lean Enterprise and Just-in-time Logistics Conventional's Inefficient-Lean's Efficient

Maintenance Shop Supply Flow Kaizen Workshop Objectives:
  • discuss just-in-time maintenance shop supply principles, value, and value streams
  • through kaizen team interactions, create a comprehensive current state value stream map of the organization’s supplier-to-point of use (POU) shop supply value stream
  • discuss key aspects of just-in-time maintenance shop supply operations, smoothed & balanced workload, visual process control, and kaizen principles and methodologies
  • assist participants in visualizing how JIT principles & practices can significantly improve shop supply processes, reliability, and parts & materials flow
  • assist participants in visualizing, then developing an aggressive, yet feasible shop supply future state improvement design and an aggressive transformation framework
  • discuss effective techniques to manage the maintenance shop supply process value stream and transform it to just-in-time principles and practices

To achieve these objectives, participants will:

  • practice, through discussions and case study illustration, just-in-time maintenance shop supply value stream flow mapping, shop supply kaizen concepts, and team building
  • develop current and future state maps of the organization’s shop supply value stream
  • identify flow impediments which must be eliminated through process kaizen to achieve future state improvements and discuss mechanisms which support implementation


Discover how to analyze your maintenance shop supply value stream, “see” its shortfalls, and apply lean principles and methods to significantly improve flow, decrease lead time, and reduce costs

Preparation A day prior to each workshop, the workshop coach will make a process flow assessment of the Model value stream.
