| Value Stream Flow Kaizen Workshops |
4 Day On-Site Workshop
|
|
Just-in-time Supply Fulfillment Flow Kaizen Objectives:
• discuss just-in-time supply distribution and fulfillment, supply activity profiling, and supply performance bench-marking
• using example case studies and team interactions, study several types of supply support value streams from downstream customers through upstream suppliers and develop an accurate current state map for the kaizen focus value stream
• discuss key aspects of order-ship lead time, supply & distribution information technology, visual warehousing operations, and demand flow smoothing
• apply these JIT fulfillment principles and methods to facilitate team design of a feasible, yet aggressive lean supply system future state map to improve flow within the kaizen focus supply distribution & fulfillment value stream
• document flow impediments which must be eliminated through process kaizen to achieve the improved supply system future state
• discuss effective techniques to manage the supply value stream’s transformation to just-in-time practices
|
To achieve these objectives, participants will:
• practice, through discussions and case study illustration, basic supply system value stream flow mapping and kaizen concepts, team building, and kaizen process management
• develop, both current and lean future state maps of the focus fulfillment value stream
• document flow impediments which must be eliminated through kaizen to achieve the future state supply system design

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