3 Day Value Stream Mapping Workshop

Description

Any change programs need to be planned in a way that it engages with the workforce ensuring it reduces doubt regarding the intent of the changes, delivers tangible outcomes, and progresses at a pace that accommodates the organisation’s ability to change.

Efficiency Works will utilise ‘Value Stream Mapping (VSM)’ to identity opportunities to improve the productivity of the organisation’s processes. VSM is a powerful process mapping tool that clarifies complex systems, identifies problem areas, and provides a tool for effective planning of solutions and their implementation. Value Stream Mapping offers several advantages over other process mapping tools as it:

  • Tracks value-added time and non-value-added time
  • Considers available capacity and resources
  • Identifies the source and reasons for many types of waste
  • Helps improvement planning
  • Tracks the impact of changes

The Value Stream mapping workshop is delivered in a Kaizen format and incorporates the 5 key principles of Continues Improvement which are:

  1. Project Pre Work
  2. Specify Customer Value
  3. Identify the Value Stream
  4. Create Smooth Flow
  5. Let the Customer Pull
  6. Purse Perfection

This methodology underpins successful improvement projects and whilst this model is simple, it is not simplistic, and is regarded world-wide as the foundation on which Continues Improvements interventions should be built.

Efficiency Works deploy a workshop style project facilitated over 3 days by an experienced Efficiency Works consultant who will utilise a collaborative approach that engages with staff, challenges thinking, transfers knowledge, builds capabilities and ensures buy-in. Our facilitator will ensure that the project team develops workable, practical, and sustainable solutions that will improve process performance, enhance culture, and provide a platform for continuous improvement.

Efficiency Works facilitator will also ensure that any issues outside the scope of the targeted Value Stream with the potential to impact the organisation’s wider process performance are identified, captured, and communicated to the project sponsor.
