Identifying & Eliminating Process Waste Using Lean Mapping Techniques
One of the biggest benefits of embracing lean thinking is to identify the waste in the process and eliminate or minimize the waste so that we can flow the value to customer in a better, cheaper, faster way. Some of the most frequently used lean techniques are "Mapping". Lean Mapping Techniques are team based, highly interactive way of visualising, mapping & surfacing out the waste in any process, be it manufacturing process or be it service process (such as office, HR, Finance etc). The beauty is that, these mapping techniques help us surface out the hidden process wastes or invisible process wastes, especially in an increasingly digital world where process are in electronic format. The "Lean Mapping Techniques" Workshop is designed to equip necessary skills on Various Lean Mapping Techniques in a highly interactive, hands on way to the participants so that participants can apply these techniques effectively in their workplace.
Objective
- Learning to visualize the process wastes in visible and hidden process scenario
- How to identify and differentiate value & waste using mapping activities
- How to develop current state, future state and ideal state for each mapping activiites
- How to inter-relate all the mapping tools & drive a team based solution in reducing the waste in the process
- How to simplify various forms used in daily activities, be it physical forms, be it electronic froms
- Best practices using case studies on successful application of mapping in real world
Outline
