Value Stream Mapping and Value Stream Design in Production and...
Going with the flow
Optimizing every process in the factory does not automatically result in optimal value creation. In many cases, an immense effort is made on this front without achieving cost-effectiveness for the entire system. This is because the most problematic forms of waste lurk between processes. It is only possible to detect and eliminate these by analyzing the whole process chain instead of individual processes. The value stream method is based on this understanding, and it makes it possible to optimize the flow of material and information in production lines, entire plants, and even across different factories.
From the customer’s perspective, the material flow is viewed holistically in combination with the flow of information so that each step of the value chain can be controlled. The result is a complete overview of the current situation and possible areas for action. Based on these findings, a target situation can be defined.
On request, it is possible to conduct the training on-site in the form of a practically oriented workshop.
