Value Steam Mapping Master Class and Site Tour

A Lean Training Event

EVENT OVERVIEW

90% of the waste in your organisation is there because you live there every day and have simply lost the ability to see. Making it visible through a VALUE STREAM MAP opens everyone’s eyes and gains their commitment to address waste and change. It is a fact that just 1% of Australian companies are actually achieving breakthrough results through LEAN. LEAN means understanding your VALUE STREAM, creating FLOW at the PULL of the down-stream customer and eliminating WASTE. Sounds easy but where do you start? Value Stream Mapping is the only place to start! A Value Stream Map will allow you to see what is invisible to you every day and direct you to the right improvement tool. Gary Kerr says “we can’t see the waste around us at work because we live here every day”. Mapping is like taking a ‘photo’ of the information flow, of the material flow and the product flow so that you can observe the WASTE. If you haven’t started mapping yet, then you are probably one of the 99% of the companies not getting the results you need. Come and learn how to create customer value at the lowest cost to your company
