Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a lean tool that visually represents workflows to identify inefficiencies, reduce waste, and improve process efficiency.
Basic knowledge of lean management concepts, waste reduction, and process improvement.
Clear understanding of the workflow, key stakeholders, and process steps involved.
Accurate metrics on cycle time, lead time, and material/information flow.
Involvement of key team members from different departments for effective mapping.
VSM helps visualize workflows, identify inefficiencies, and optimize processes by eliminating waste and improving efficiency.
Professionals in operations, manufacturing, supply chain, project management, and process improvement can benefit from VSM.
Basic knowledge of lean principles and process workflows is helpful but not mandatory.
Here’s a structured way to present Course Features with sub-information and key points:
Key concepts, principles, and importance of VSM. Understanding value-added and non-value-added activities.
Identifying process steps, stakeholders, and material flow. Recognizing inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
Creating optimized workflows with lean principles. Strategies for waste elimination and process improvement.
