Lean Manufacturing
Consultant: Value Stream Mapping
(VSM)
Not all of company
improvement activity leads
to bottom-line results. What
is worse, some improvements
do not always add value to
the customer. Some lean
efforts are nothing more
than cost reductions that
create road-blocks to lean
transformation success.
Value stream mapping is the
best method for guiding the
process of
continuous improvements
while
increasing customer value.
The most value in value
stream mapping is being able
to see and understand the
whole value stream process.
Departmental cost reductions
are usually quick fixes
accomplished at the expense
of others and eventually are
lost due to inadequate
process management. Mapping
helps to prioritize kaizen
efforts aimed at making a
bigger impact for customers
satisfaction instead of just
a shotgun approach. Finally,
value stream maps help
everyone agree on the
current state and what their
future state would look like. With this
shared vision, everyone
begins to move forward as a
team and lean
transformations exceed all
expectations.

How do we get started?
Congratulations,
if you have read this far, you must be seriously considering getting some outside help
in your pursuit of higher
growth and earnings.
A pre-assessment meeting is suggested to assure that there
is mutual understanding and agreement about:
* The
structure and objective of your program
* The
level of involvement and commitment required
* Team members' roles, expectations and selection
Our preference is to meet with the CEO and Operations leader at
the factory site where the proposed project would take place.
A morning "get acquainted" meeting and plant tour is
usually sufficient to cover the above subjects and establish mutual
understanding of project objectives and expectations. If agreement
is reached and the project is approved, a project time schedule is
established.
If the factory site is in Southern California, there
is no charge for this meet-ing. If it is outside Southern California,
we ask that the potential client to budget for travel expenses.
Don't miss out, our
lean
manufacturing
consultant
service is
limited...
take your action today!
