Why this type of training is important to manufacturers:
The aim of Value Stream Mapping is to get employees to work together to see their operations from a systems perspective. They will learn how to recognize waste and improve flow within value streams. This will lead to improved lead times, right-sized inventory, increased productivity, and increased employee morale.
