Value Stream Mapping

With this training kit, your own instructor has everything necessary for an internal program that teaches and develops a value stream map for one or more of your processes. Through this, participants visualize the inefficiencies, imbalances and inventory buildups that generate so much waste. 

After the three days of learning and doing, participants learn to apply Lean Manufacturing principles and develop a future state map that eliminates much of the waste previously identified. The identify opportunity areas for Kaizen events, prioritize them and set the stage for an implementation plan.

A Personal Note

Basic skill training for many employees is a part of Lean Manufacturing Strategy. Although Strategos offers such programs, the Training Kits from Enna, Inc. provide an option for internal training. Enna's packages are professionally prepared, convenient and cost-effective. They enable a regular employee, with basic knowledge and presentation skills to conduct effective training. 

I have personally reviewed these products and recommend them highly. --Quarterman Lee
