Leanovations Collaborates with GumshoeKI eVSM Workshop
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (October 3, 2008)
Leanovations Collaborates with GumshoeKI on an Advanced Lean Workshop Training “eVSM Value Stream Mapping Workshop” at Central Connecticut State University’s ITBD Conference Center.
PLAINVILLE, CT – Leanovations, LLC a Lean and Innovations Consulting Company from Connecticut collaborated with GumshoeKI a Visual Communications Company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, to present an “Advanced Value Stream Mapping Lean Tools Workshop” at Central Connecticut State University Conference Center. The Workshop demonstrated the power of eVSM Software as a Dynamic Value Stream Mapping and Management tool for making strategic plans and deployment decisions. The one-day workshop took place on Monday, September 22nd, 2008.
Lean is a process improvement methodology based on the Toyota Production System. When implementing Lean, process diagrams called Value Stream Maps, are essential tools that are used for visualization, planning and communication throughout the transformation. Value Stream Maps are traditionally hand-drawn and have an established iconic language. In recent years, several tools have emerged to allow electronic capture of the hand-drawn maps, primarily for ease of communication, modification and analysis of the maps.
The Workshop was hands on and very interactive. The participants developed their skills using the eVSM software to capture the current state of a classroom Nerf Ball Factory simulation. The participants utilized the eVSM software to analyze the current state and develop strategic plans to improve their Nerf Ball Factory to compete globally. Then the participants conducted a re-layout of their factory via a “Kaizen Event” from their eVSM analysis, not once but two times, while always capturing their actions on eVSM Software.
