"The Value Stream Management System" simplifies the planning
process for lean implementation, ensuring quick deployment and
greater success. It links the metrics and reporting required by
management with the lean tools needed on the manufacturing floor.
The central feature of this illustrative and engaging book is the
value stream management storyboard, a tool representing an
eight-step process for lean implementation. The storyboard brings
together people, tools, metrics, and reporting into one visual
document.
The authors stress the importance of reaching beyond
single-point kaizens to ensure a sustainable lean implementation
process. Many people use the value stream map as an individual
tool, but not within the context of a proven overall system. Value
Stream Management: "Eight Steps to Planning, Mapping, and
Sustaining Lean Improvements" shows you how to use mapping as part
of a complete system for lean implementation.
The final outcome of Value Stream Management is the creation of
a complete, visual plan for lean transformation - and the mastery
of the skills required to implement that plan. Instead of just
using Toyota Production System Tools, the authors encourage you to
create your own lean production system. Value Stream Management
will help you to complete your process and sustain it
BONUS CD Along with this book you receive a CD containing a lean
assessment tool, a storyboard template, useful charts, a team
charter, forms, reports, and worksheets.

actually works. Viewers will see value stream management in action
at four major companies. The package includes a facilitator's guide
