WSQ Identify Waste Through Value Stream Mapping and Process Razing Toa Payoh, Central

Course details

his course provides understanding and knowledge in identifying waste through using Value Stream Map (VSM) and process improvement through waste elimination. VSM simplifies the process flow into material and information in a basic understandable format as a product makes its way from door to door. By isolating all non-value-added costs you can easily apply manufacturing resources as a value per square footage utilised by a particular cell or value stream. This methodology gives a true picture of non-value- added throughput for each value stream company. With this, you can easily focus improvement through process razing where series of Kaizen events are identified and non-value-adding waste are eliminated for productivity, quality improvement and sustainability.

This unit is delivered through lectures, video simulation and hands-on activities.

OBJECTIVES

• Identify waste as non-value-added activity.
• Evaluate process and retention time and its effect on productivity.
• Apply value streaming, operations scanning and process razing to eliminate non-value-added activities according to organisational performance.
• Draw organisation’s current state and future state according to organisational performance.
• Identify opportunities and areas for improvements to production systems according to organisational requirements.
• Apply cellular concept in designing and implementing continuous flow according to organisational performance.
• Define performance driver: organisational objectives and KPI.
• Evaluate performance driver against defined organisational objectives/KPI.
• Review and follow up action plans against deviated organisational objectives/KPI.
