In essence, Value Stream Management is the key to bringing the often disparate components of lean manufacturing together and making them work for you! This seven-tape video series begins with an overview of value stream management and takes you through the foundations of lean before teaching you how to plan, map and achieve your ideal value stream. Combining case studies at actual US companies, simulations, and a computer generated visual factory, Value Stream Management is a cost-effective way of delivering the benefits of lean to your workforce that will allow you to sustain those improvements long into the future.
