Value Stream Mapping Workshop

Create Customer Value at the Lowest Cost to your Company 

     BRISBANE: Monday, 27 November 2017

     SYDNEY: Wednesday, 29 November 2017

     TIME: 8.30am - 4.30pm

     FEE (includes GST): Members $590  /  Non Members $790 (Includes lunch)

This two-day, practical workshop makes lean thinking and business improvement principles easy to understand through both hands-on simulations and real projects undertaken at the host plant. A Value Stream Map will allow you to see what is invisible to you every day and direct you to the right improvement tool.  

“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."
Gary Kerr, Facilitator

Feedback from our June 2017 events in WA and SA:

"I was most impressed by Gary's simplicity of delivery and teaching"

"I was most impressed by the knowledge and experience of the facilitator"

"The presenter was very knowledgeable on the subject and material. His range of experience allowed him to respond well to a wide array of questions."

The value stream presentation was great. It was an easy engagement style with everyone participating and able to apply straight away with a real scenario. A combination of the presenter and host staff saw everyone involved in trying to solve the problem as if it were their own to solve."

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!

This two-day, practical workshop makes lean thinking and business improvement principles easy to understand through both hands-on simulations and real projects undertaken at the host plant. Upon completion of this two-day interactive training session, participants will:

• Know and understand each of the 5 steps to “Lean Thinking”
• List the 7 forms of “Waste” and briefly describe each as it relates to his or her facility or environment
• Understand what is communicated in a Value Stream Map and learn how to create one for own value stream
• Use simple Value Stream Mapping to clarify a present operation (Present State Map)
• Calculate what is “Value Added” and “Non-Value Added” in any work environment
• Describe the impact that plant layout and set-up time have on production
• Describe a “Pull System,” its typical characteristics and its effect on customers and quality
• Define “Takt Time” and know how to calculate it
• Explain how “Takt Time” can aid in the decision making process of determining best choices
• Brainstorm lean opportunities for improvement
• Generate a “Future State Map” for a given product or process
• Develop an “Action Plan” that will serve as a roadmap for improvement
