Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Training and Consulting Program
Companies that cannot distinguish value-adding activities the customer is willing to pay for from waste (muda) operate with long lead times, high inventory and hidden losses. Grupas Gelişim's Value Stream Mapping program lets you see the whole picture by visualizing the order flow (from the customer order to the production order) and the production flow (from raw material to finished product) on a single page. The program covers 10 progression steps: current state map, identification of non-value-adding activities, future state map, action plan, improvement, standardization and sustainability. Measurements such as takt time calculation, lead time, cycle time, setup time, flow index and value-added ratio, along with standard VSM symbols (general, process flow and information flow symbols), are taught through hands-on practice.
Benefits and Business Results
- The ability to see the total flow beyond a single operation level; a holistic door-to-door perspective
- Clear identification and reduction of losses and their sources (the seven wastes)
- Making the connection between information flow and material flow visible
- Shorter lead times, reduced inventory/WIP and waiting times, and improved resource utilization
- Alignment with customer demand through takt time: meeting demand instead of overproducing, and making the right capacity and pull system decisions
- Setting priorities and removing the obstacles in front of the flow
- Connecting lean concepts and techniques to one another; reference data for the lean transformation roadmap
- A visual, shared communication language between management and employees at every level
- Process efficiency supported by automation and technological solutions
- A standardized culture of continuous improvement based on customer feedback, and well-informed teams
