Value Stream Mapping Workshops

Define a detailed blueprint for lean operational transformation of your organization’s critical value streams through an ILS-lead value stream mapping workshop.   Our design methods go way beyond the approaches of well-known references such as Learning to See, giving a systematic and comprehensive approach to operations restructuring for enhancing value delivery, eliminating waste, designing cells and lines, establishing effective work and information flow, designing appropriate production control and visual scheduling procedures, defining implementation plans, establishing new facility layouts, and installing appropriate operational support systems. 

ILS has great breadth of experience in value stream design for any type of manufacturing, health care, service, or enterprise-level operation.  This includes:

• Conventional discrete manufacturing across a wide range of industries, from high to low volume and including fabrication and assembly operations
• Job shops
• Casting and molding operations
• Transactional and office processes
• Comprehensive enterprise-level value streams such as those involving design-to-order products where sales, quoting, procurement, design and manufacturing systems must be effectively integrated to minimize lead times and costs.
• Process industry applications
• Warehousing and depot operations
• Heath care operations including clinics, diagnostic labs, ancillary services, material logistics (linens, medical supplies, food), emergency rooms, and inpatient services (patient flow from admission through discharge)
• Service operations such as insurance claims processing

When necessary, we employ special tools to define product families and partition value streams for complex operations with shared resources.   We also assist corporations and their strategic partners in defining lean operational strategy to organize their production resources in a manner that serves the customer’s value proposition in unique and highly effective ways.  Such an approach creates sustainable competitive advantages beyond what can be achieved with a conventional operational excellence approach.
