Our updated Training To See kit has everything you need to run your
own value-stream mapping workshops — except a comfortable pair of
shoes for walking your value streams.
Based on feedback from customers and LEI faculty members, we
improved this popular value-stream mapping training kit with a
revamped CD, more hands-on mapping materials to get your teams
started, templates of key forms, and a starter lean library.
In this first revision to the kit since its introduction in 2000,
we’ve stuffed it with everything that facilitators need to explain
key concepts and lead people through a hands-on mapping
experience.
The kit enables you to take people through the exercise of
selecting a product family, mapping its current state to identify
the root causes of waste, mapping a much leaner future state, and
developing a plan to implement the future state to achieve
immediate results. The improved kit remains true to the proven
approach and lessons in Learning to See, LEI’s breakthrough
workbook that introduced the value-stream mapping tool.
The new kit includes:
- A Facilitator’s Guide for leading your own value-stream mapping
workshops, including tips and suggestions for having a successful
training session
- 20 Participant Guides so students can follow along with the
facilitator
- A CD-ROM containing PowerPoint slides for the facilitator, and
five forms for starting and sustaining the transformation:
1/ a product-family matrix blank form for identifying product
families to map
2/ communication forms for facilitators, including a memo to
confirm attendance at the mapping workshop, a workshop evaluation
form, and a follow-up letter to attendees to gauge their initial
progress
3/ a certificate of completion, customizable for your company
4/ an annual value-stream plan template showing goals, steps,
checkpoints, and deadlines
5/ a value-stream review template to evaluate progress toward each
objective on your future-state maps and manage obstacles.
- A video (VHS) with Jim Womack's opening and closing
remarks
- A rugged Cordura® nylon carrying bag with roomy pockets for all
your mapping essentials
- An 11-by-17-inch Value-Stream Mapping Pad with 50 sheets
- A Value-Stream Mapping Stencil with 32 icons to help you
draw
- A stop watch for capturing cycle times
- A calculator for figuring takt times and other value-stream
data
- 20 mechanical pencils — with erasers, of course — for drawing
maps
- A 90-day free trial copy of eVSM Value-Stream Mapping Software
for converting hand-drawn maps into electronic ones for sharing and
presentations
- A starter lean library consisting of Lean Thinking, revised and
updated 2d edition; the Learning to See workbook; and the Lean
Lexicon, graphical glossary of key lean terms and concepts
Who will benefit from the new kit …
This kit will be most beneficial to you if you have value-stream
mapping experience. You can get basic mapping experience and skills
by attending our Value-Stream Mapping Workshop.
If you have mapping experience, but need guidance and some hands-on
tips and techniques from an experienced facilitator on how best to
use the kit to conduct your own mapping workshops, our Train the
Trainer Workshop will teach you how to use the kit most
effectively. More information about the workshops is available at
the LEI web site at www.lean.org.au , click on Training.
About value-stream mapping …
Value-stream mapping is a fundamental initial step in a lean
transformation because it leads to a better overall flow in an
entire process instead of isolated improvements to a single point
in a process.
As a result, mapping creates a blueprint for applying other tools
and kaizens. It also helps people see beyond the symptoms of waste
to the root causes so they can make more substantial and
sustainable improvements. Every company that is serious about
becoming lean will want its employees and its suppliers’ employees
to know this basic tool. With more content for the same price, the
revised Training to See kit delivers everything you need to run
comprehensive and cost-effective mapping workshops.
