Have you ever been interested in exactly how to run a value stream mapping exercise?

This workshop will give you the knowledge and experience to help answer that question, as well as facilitate your own session as soon as you return to work. 



We will define the following:

1. What are value streams?

2. What is value stream mapping?

3. Why do I use value stream mapping?

4. What metrics do I use to measure my value stream?

5. What is the Theory of Constraints and how to apply it to value stream mapping.



The workshop will start as an information session to get you familiar with the things to define above. Then we will work together to map a pre-defined value stream so that you can learn how to facilitate the session. 



During the actual mapping session you will learn:

1. How to map a current value stream, what metrics to capture, how to help the team understand these metrics

2. Take the current state value stream and analyze it through the Theory of Constraints

3. Produce a future state value stream with improvements that need to be made

4. Create an analysis for next steps of improvement after the future state value stream is met.



If you come to this workshop, you can expect the following outcomes:

1. When and why to use value stream mapping

2. How to convince your team to use value stream mapping as a tool

3. How to capture a value stream and analyze it

4. How to continue to use value stream mapping and analysis to improve people (team), process, and tooling.
