Value Stream Management - Eight Steps to Planning, Mapping and Sustaining Lean Improvements (Paperback)

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.

The package includes a facilitator's guide that provides information on how to use the package and an overview of each training module, and a participant guide,
