Mapping to See: Value-Stream Improvement Workshop

Mapping to See: Value-Stream Improvement for the Office and Services is a complete training solution, designed to teach proven VSI methods to office and service environments in companies of all sizes. The kit is based on the value stream improvement project experience of some of the most seasoned veterans working in lean today. The process and tools they share have been developed over hundreds of projects in virtually every type of industry.

The Mapping to See kit is based on the same easy-to-use format as our successful Training To See kit, and provides even more help for both the new and experienced trainer/facilitator. The kit includes everything you need to:

• Select and scope a value-stream improvement (VSI) project that really matters to the business.
• Conduct a training workshop for all of the key people in the VSI project that produces a current-state map that clearly identifies problems in your process flow, a vision of the future state that is reviewed by leadership, and a detailed action plan with a management commitment to support the recommended value stream changes.
• Produce a 60- to 90-day implementation plan that creates meaningful and sustained business results.

The MTS kit helps you to train people in all parts of a VSI project, including VSM and more. The kit is based on the principle that VSM makes the greatest impact when it helps real people dramatically improve real value streams that have a real impact on the heart of their business.

The MTS kit gives you an efficient way to properly train your people to conduct VSI projects in any part of your business. For the purchase price of $500 you receive everything you need to train up to 20 people. (By purchasing additional Participant Guides you can deliver consistent VSI project training to all levels of your organization.)
