NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS:

MINIMUM: 4, MAXIMUM: 12

 

LANGUAGES:

RECOMMENDED FOR:

Design / Process / Industrialization / Methods / Production / Logistics / Maintenance Managers & Engineers
Quality Managers & Engineers
Industrial / Operational Manager
Head of department

 

CONTEXT:

You're already experienced in lean manufacturing, particularly in localized improvement activities such as kaizen projects.
Now you're seeking a tool that can structure your approach globally and deliver benefits across the plant.

 

OBJECTIVES:

• Understand the issues and the scope to which the VSM refers.
• Be prepared to list the main activities addressed by a VSM.
• Review the key principles of lean manufacturing.
• Build an existing flow map that is both understandable and well documented.
• Create a first level goal map and define the micro action plan for deployment.

 

PREREQUISITES:

No prerequisite.

 

SPECIFIC OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR REMOTE SESSIONS:

• Have a PC with a microphone, a webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: background screens are available on Zoom or Teams to blur or hide the rear view.
• Have a good Internet connection, to be tested before the session.
• Be installed in a quiet, isolated place ; set yourself to “unavailable” status on Teams ; close your email access, and mute your phone, so as not to be disturbed during the session.
• Participants from the same organization should not be grouped together in the same room, but each at his/ her own desk, to avoid any side discussions during the session. Virtual sub-groups will be specially created for the exercises, which will also enable mixed groups. 
• Remote qualification/certification exams must be taken with camera and microphone open. We may also need to check that you are alone in the room.
• Please connect 5 minutes before the start of the session.

 

TRAINING METHOD:

Through a case scenario inspired by a company's real situation, the trainees are invited to create the 3 main parts of their first VSM (Situation Map, Lean Goals Map, Macro Action Plan). A step-by-step "solution" is used to ensure that the participants' level of learning progresses smoothly and that they really get to grips with the tool.

 

TRAINING PROGRAM:

1. The major benefits of Value Stream Mapping, a strategic tool for the deployment of Lean.
2. The 3 phases of VSM:
   •    Current map
   •    Target map
   •    The macro level implementation plan.
3. The 10 steps to build a current map.
4. The fundamental concepts of Lean Manufacturing.
5. The 8 key questions for building the target map.
6. Step-by-step guide to building the target map.
7. Measure expected gains.
8. Build the action plan to achieve the target map.
9. Prioritize and deploy the action plan.

 

EVALUATION METHOD:

The trainer validates the application of the principles and tools learnt through practical exercises.

 

SKILLS VALIDATION:

Training qualification certificate

 

TRAINING MATERIALS:

Course participant file with training presentations and exercise materials. Training materials in digital format are made available to trainees a few days before the course.

TESTIMONIES:

AURÉLIEN FACHE - KUHN HUARD
"The VSM tool is explained and detailed step by step in a very practical way. "

 

BENOÎT FERQUEL - DEFONTAINE
"The combined learning of theoretical principles and their immediate practical application through IT projects and tools such as VSM helped to raise the awareness of our teams, whatever their position in the company. Today, the trend is reversed: it's visual management that's in the spotlight, and it's complemented by information systems, whereas a year ago it was the other way round. Pragmatism and participation of each individual take priority over everything else. "
