Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop a current-state value stream map that includes precise operating time calculations and clearly distinguishes between value-add and non-value-add activities.
• Identify and categorize MUDAS within the value chain, quantifying their effect on lead time and productivity.
• Design a future-state value stream map characterized by improved flow, minimized waste, and updated time metrics.
• Formulate clear, prioritized action plans to execute the future-state map and measure the resulting improvements.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Practical mapping exercises utilizing real process examples from the client.
• Group workshops to develop current and future state maps along with action plans.
