Workshop Overview

This workshop module covers Value Stream Mapping in an Office Environment. We offer it as a two-day course for those who have taken our popular Introduction To Lean Workshop or a three-day course, which includes the Introduction To Lean Workshop. Most organizations have some difficulty making the leap from shop floor mapping to the office environment. This module contains case studies that will help to clarify and
demystify how to use these techniques in the office. It also includes hands-on practical mapping in your office area under the guidance of an expert facilitator so that your team can immediately practice their new skills.

Learning Objectives

  • Introduce Value Stream Mapping in a hands-on manner.
  • Develop the ability to identify waste and create flow in an office environment.

Teaching Method
The course offers a hands-on approach to Value Stream Mapping in an office environment. Using a combination of case studies and actual processes from your office the instructor will lead you through the development of a current state map and then on to a future state map with an implementation plan of how to get there.

Program Agenda
