Synopsis

Value stream management simplifies planning for lean implementation. It links the metrics and reporting required by management with the tools needed on the manufacturing floor. In this volume, the authors stress the importance of reaching beyond single-point kaizens to ensure a sustainable lean implementation process. The central feature of this work is the value stream management storyboard, a tool representing an eight-step process for lean implementation. The storyboard brings together people, tools, metrics, and reporting into one visual document. The book is packaged with a CD containing a lean assessment tool and a storyboard template, as well as charts, forms, and worksheets.
