Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Training Course Overview:
Value Stream Mapping training enables Portland students to visually summarize processes highlighting their waste, and opportunities for improvement. Value Stream Mapping is an essential tool of Lean Manufacturing. 'Value stream' refers to the fact that the mapping is depicting the process flow by which raw materials, information, etc. are altered and combined forming something for which customers are willing to pay. Along the way, any actions for which customers are not willing to pay are considered waste and highlighted on the map. Wastes generally take the form of downtime, inventory, inspection, etc.; manifestations of the Seven Deadly Sins.

City of Roses
Excellent choice! In the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood, Portland is Oregon's largest city and known for eco-friendliness, bridges, biking, microbreweries, and coffeehouses. Portland began as a transportation point for goods especially timber. WWII spurred ship building. And technology migrated in helping Portland become the youthful and educated city it is today.

Testimonials
Read what our students and clients have to say.
 Charles Haymaker Vice President International Transport I had the privilege of working with our Master Black Belt when he spearheaded the Six Sigma transformation within our company. The "do-as-I-do" disciplined style of his direction resonated within our entire organization. This was during a period of escalated growth and the management struggles that often accompany. Through his steady and focused approach, he brought structure to the craziness, garnered buy-in at all levels, and was quickly recognized as the guru. This was several years ago and now as a leader in an unrelated industry, I still find myself looking back on many of the concepts and methods we discussed. You may remember that one great teacher you had when you were in school, or a mentor you still think about today? He is one of those kind of special people who one is fortunate to know. |
