Value Stream Mapping Training Course

Description:

The technique of Value Stream Mapping is built upon recognition of one of the core definitions of Lean, namely that any activity which does not add value is waste. Value Stream Mapping is a tool that helps us define the activities undertaken within a process visually, and assess the relative value-adding content throughout the process. Upon the visual representation of waste in a process, we can hopefully identify the area or areas which should be the focus of our improvement efforts.
