VSM Value Stream Mapping

Everyone is striving towards the same goal. Is that a cliché or is it fully achievable? To be able to reduce lead time with half, in only three months, is it really viable? 

Value Stream Mapping is an efficient tool used to quickly see improvement options from a horizontal perspective. This method is often called "Learning to See". Value streams emanate from a series of operational steps linking different people or functions together in order to accomplish what the receiver or customer asks for.

The workhop illustrates the difference between a traditional process mapping and a mapping according to Lean principles. It is uniquely adapted to work flows within services, facilities and administration areas.
