It links the metrics and reporting required by management with the lean tools needed on the manufacturing floor. The central feature of this illustrative and engaging book 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors stress the importance of reaching beyond single-point kaizens to ensure a sustainable lean implementation process. Many people use the value stream map as an individual tool, but not within the context of a proven overall system. \u003cb\u003eValue Stream Management: \u003ci\u003eEight Steps to Planning, Mapping, and Sustaining Lean Improvements\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e shows you how to use mapping as part of a complete system for lean implementation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final outcome of Value Stream Management is the creation of a complete, visual plan for lean transformation - and the mastery of the skills required to implement that plan.

The format is also excellent for readers such as busy managers\/executives who are typically overloaded with material they need to read. It is a quick read or can be quickly scanned for core content by reading bullet statements, boxed-in highlighted text, etc. I'm pleased to see that despite the unique format, the book\/manual doesn't dilute or leave out content that is critical lean theory. You can tell this book is written by practitioners who have actually done it.\"\u003cbr\u003e — Bob Angeli, Vice President of Operations, IdraPrince, June 2004\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverview: Value Stream Management\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: The Value Stream Management Process\u003cbr\u003e Step 1: Commit to Lean\u003cbr\u003e Step 2: Choose the Value Stream\u003cbr\u003e Step 3: Learn about Lean\u003cbr\u003e Step 4: Map the Current State\u003cbr\u003e Step 5: Identify Lean Metrics\u003cbr\u003e Step 6: Map the Future State\u003cbr\u003e Step 7: Create Kaizen Plans\u003cbr\u003e Step 8: Implement Kaizen Plans\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Bonus CD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020075237719,"sku":"9781563272455","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781563272455.jpg?v=1750782309","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/value-stream-management-eight-steps-to-planning-mapping-and-sustaining-lean-improvements-9781563272455","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
