Course Description
This course provides an understanding and knowledge in identifying waste through using Value Stream Map (VSM) and process improvement through waste elimination.  VSM simplifies the process flow in material and information in a basic understandable format as a product makes its way through door to door. By isolating all non value added costs you can easily apply manufacturing resources as a value per square footage utilized by a particular cell or value stream. This methodology gives a true picture of value-added throughput for each value stream company. With this, you can easily focus improvement through process razing where series of Kaizen events are identified and non values added waste are eliminated for productivity, quality improvement and sustainability.
This unit is delivered through lecture, simulations and hands-on activities.

Objectives

1. Identify waste as a non value added activities. Evaluate process and retention time and its effect on productivity
2. Apply value streaming, operations scanning and process razing to eliminate the non value added activities according to organizational performance.
3. Draw organization’s current state and future state according to organizational performance.
4. Identify opportunities and areas for improvements to production systems according to organizational requirements.
5. Apply cellular concept in designing and implementing continuous flow according to organizational performance. Define performance driver: organizational objectives and KPI.
