F66: Lean Tools: Value Stream Mapping - Addressing Differences Between Office and Shop Floor (Room S401A)

12 Nov 19
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Tracks: Lean, Marketing & Sales

VSM's roots are in production, but most Value Streams include non-production functions like engineering, purchasing, service and sales - or the VS doesn't even touch the product (think HR, finance and marketing). Successful mapping there requires a different approach. Properly performed, VSM surfaces and addresses issues in highly cross-functional processes related to: organizational alignment, leadership engagement, directing teams and consensus building. Leave this presentation armed with new insights on how to VSM most any process!
