On-Demand Training for a Must-Have Business Improvement Tool that Accelerates Change and Supports Growth Introduced by the Lean Enterprise Institute
Thursday, April 29, 2021
The new online workshop, Learning to See Using Value-Stream Mapping, is faithfully based on the global best-selling workbook, Learning to See, which has been translated into 15 languages.
BOSTON, April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Despite the best efforts of companies to improve performance, cost savings fail to reach bottom lines, quality and service improvements fail to reach customers, and continuous improvement efforts fail to last, according to the nonprofit Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI).
The reason is that well-intentioned improvement efforts often are deployed in isolation to fix part of a process for providing products or services. The results are isolated islands of improvement and limited benefits. To be effective, improvement efforts must be targeted strategically within the context of creating a complete lean value stream.
Learning to See Using Value-Stream Mapping, teaches businesspeople at all levels how to use value-stream maps to create "blueprints" for strategically applying the right continuous improvement tools at the right places in processes. Mapping identifies and eliminates nonvalue-adding waste, including time and costs, thus improving the flow of value to customers.
Value-Stream Mapping Benefits
The workshop is based on Learning to See, the award-winning, easy-to-read workbook that explains step-by-step the valuable value-stream mapping methodology.
Mapping is an overarching tool that graphically depicts an entire process, including material and information flow, along with key data. Rather than taking a haphazard approach to improvement, value-stream mapping establishes a direction for performance improvement and the company.
Through videos, hands-on exercises, handouts, live coaching sessions, and case studies, workshop attendees learn:
-- What are lean management and value-stream mapping.
-- How value-stream mapping improves productivity, quality, time-to-market,
accelerates positive change, and uncovers growth opportunities.
-- Why mapping avoids the common mistake of cherry-picking individual
improvement tools, which creates isolated islands of improvement and
limited benefits.
-- How to draw a current-state map, create an improved future-state vision
and map, then establish an implementation plan.
-- How to see beyond the symptoms of waste to the deeper root causes to
make substantial and sustainable improvements.
-- Why mapping is significantly more powerful than other improvement tools.
-- How mapping provides a common language for all employees and managers,
so they see problems in a shared way.
-- Plus, because it is online, self-paced, and on-demand, attendees learn
at their own speed and schedule, alone or with a?team.
