LEAN MANUFACTURING techniques’ leading analytical discipline in a new generation of training. Come and acquire new skills.
The course is part of the LEAN EXPERT certified programme.
An innovated form of training with high added value in both the online and factory variant.

Wherever there is a product for a customer, there is a value stream. We will teach you to perceive value streams, map them and analyse the opportunities they present using the VSM technique (Value-Stream Mapping).

We will explain value-stream mapping using general theory and graphical simulation. In training, you will try mapping on video analyses from a factory created by our TractorMotive simulation. Learn to implement a detailed analysis of workplaces, lines and the production process as a whole. You will be making extensive use of value analyses and new 3Z, 3X techniques. We will separately set up studies of permeation and process balance. You will understand and manually put together a VSM map.

Practical courses in a factory

The active connection of the lectured theory and the immediate practical training in the operation of the host factory will allow you to learn the real implementation of the trained technique. We carefully select the host factories to provide a suitable environment for the lecture and at the same time be a motivation for your personal development.

The training takes place in the host factory in the full range of 3 days.

We undertake a comprehensive Gate to Gate VSM for a single production process (from first operation to dispatch). We will compile a balance study, value analyzes, VSM map in paper and digital form. Together with the host’s experts, we will design a targeted streamlining of the process. We will create a VSD and a basic implementation plan. Throughout the course, you can discuss with colleagues from other factories and look for your personal inspiration.

ONLINE variant

With the use of specialized software tools, we will not only lecture you, but together we will work as one team, you will work in small groups, or you will do simple homework. You will go through 12 hours of theory and practical exercises. Together we will compile a map of the current state of VSM and propose optimizations – streamlining of the process in the form of VSD. You download all the created materials to your PC and easily create VSM in your factory by following them. You will work intensively, but from the comfort of your office or home.

Coaching of your project is included in the online variant. We cannot take you to a factory, where we practically try out the technique. Therefore, we will turn the situation around and you will take a personal consultant to your factory.

Together we define the process / topic / tools. You perform measurement and observation in the process, compile analyzes. The consultant will check your work, help you with advice and expertise. We will help you and your implementation team to build a VSM and come up with a VSD. If you are interested, you can order online implementation support in addition to the training to streamline the process and achieve the VSD target state.
