Value stream thinking and design is a proven management method for designing efficient and highly effective operations and assure ongoing improvement is well-orchestrated. The approach is as effective for service, transactional, knowledge and creative environments as it is for manufacturing. This workshop focused on clarifying common misunderstandings and building participants’ cognitive understanding and technical skills for analyzing and designing high-performing value streams.

Overview

Specific topics will include:

  • The difference between value streams and processes
  • The difference between extended value streams, value stream segments, and value-enabling work streams.
  • How to identify one’s value streams
  • Selection criteria for an initial cycle of value stream improvement
  • Developing a detailed charter and related preparation activities
  • Structure for value stream analysis and design sessions
  • Analysis techniques for obtaining current state understanding
  • Future state design considerations
  • Developing a realistic transformation action plan

The workshop is highly interactive, including hands-on work and a rare glimpse into real-world value stream maps and transformation journeys. Participants who’ve created their own value stream maps and attempted value stream transformation are invited to bring their maps and stories to the session!
