Production or service can be seen as a steady stream of interconnecting processes. A value stream describes the entire set of activities necessary to create and produce that product or service.
Value Added Mapping is the system that provides the big picture — a way to see the total flow and the processes used.
A hands on experience that will improve your process performance 30%–50%. Everything, wither information, paper work, or product, flows through your organization and every step adds value or doesn’t add value. You learn how to identify and eliminate or minimize the non-value added activities.
You will identify:
Current flow
Actual processing time
Work in queue
Value added steps
Opportunities for improvement
The second step to becoming a more proficient and productive organization is Value Added Mapping. In this two day workshop you:
Learn to draw process maps
Draw a map of your current process
Design and draw a map of your new process
Determine the next steps for implementation
A two-day workshop held in your facility. The participants will spend part of their time in a classroom and part of the time in the facility drawing the current and future maps.
"I have enjoyed each session we have had. I feel like every session has been a great learning tool for me. The discussions that we have and listening to Jack really makes me think and see other people’s point of view. I can see a greatly improved relationship with the employees I am responsible for. Also I have had more self-confidence in my job and myself through the training." - Janet Cantrell,

For the most, it will help improve the processes and workflow in the work environment.” - Mike Turpin,
