Whenever there is a product for a customer, there is also a flow of value. We are going to teach you how to map the flow and analyze an opportunity within the production processes using the technique called VSM (Value Stream Mapping). We combine teaching of theory with an analytical workshop. You will practice inside of a factory, created using a unique TractorMotive simulation. We refurbished our training procedures and created a practical and intensive lean course for you.

For your own project, an on-line coaching by an experienced consultant is prepared as part of the program.

We are going to focus on techniques that identify waste and opportunity inside processes. Mapping of the value stream will be explained first in theory and for better understanding, we will introduce the procedure in graphical simulation. To assure that our attendees also acquire a practical skill, we will realize a physical mapping throughout a simulated factory. You will go thorough a detailed examination of a workplace using value analysis, throughput analysis and balancing. We will also examine all organizational relations that influence or manage our process and add them to the map of value stream. You will learn how to read between the process steps and how to transform the opportunity found, together with the team, into a realization plan – the map of future state (VSD).

We will hand you over a series of practical tips, usable within diverse industrial environments (electrical engineering, engineering, medical, automotive, custom manufacturing)
