Value Stream Maps

• Value Stream Maps (VSMs) are the key to successful Lean projects.

• Their purpose is multifocal: – To expose opportunities for improvement.

– Level-set everyone on the process.

– Identify lack of standard work.

– Identify deviation from policy.

• Their value is to provide a roadmap for the future.

Intermediate Level Value Stream Mapping

• Most everyone knows how to produce a VSM.

• What are the most efficient ways to produce VSMs? – Paper using cut-outs or just drawing on a large roll of butcher

block paper.

– Electronic using a common program such as Visio, Excel, or other common products.

– Highly sophisticated add-on programs such as EVSM which lays on top of Visio.

– Newer lower cost add ons such as Smartdraw which uses a more common platform (Excel) and is less costly to install and has a faster learning curve to use.

Advantage/Disadvantage

• Paper advantages: – Cheap.

– Short learning curve to use.

– Flexible.

• Paper disadvantages: – Takes a lot of space to use it.

– Takes preparation work to have everything cut out.

– Hard to move (taping down required before moving).

Advantage/Disadvantage (cont.) • Electronic Advantages:

– Fast to create.

– You can use a previous map as a template.

– Easier to transport a laptop than a large roll of paper.

– No problem with it coming unglued.

– You can easily make changes.

• Electronic Disadvantages: – Expensive.

– Learning curve, you can’t show and use.

– You have to have a projector for a large group to see it.

– You can’t always see the entire map in details at the same time.

– To print a readable copy you need a large paper roll plotter.

So.. What’s The Right Thing To DO?

• Like everything else with Lean, let the data drive the decision.

• Do you have money for the software?

• Do you have technical expertise to learn to use it?

• Do you have access to projectors where you will be using it to develop the Value Stream Maps?

• How often are you going to be using it?

• Do you need/want to share the maps with others who are not able to come to the exercise (virtual VSMs).

– Hot Button List.

• Lean uses tools much like a carpenter, plumber, doctor, nurse, or laboratory tech does.

• The tools are common to all Lean projects, their application might vary somewhat with the use of each.

• The common Lean tools include:

How to Engage Employees • Engage ALL employees by knowing all employees.

• Assign employees to the tools. – Employees get scared easily.

– Employees feel left out.

– Employees fear their job will be eliminated.

• Make it interesting. – Golf Tee Game to teach Standard Work.

– Single piece flow exercise to prove the value before asking them to believe.

– Have them cut out the icons for the VSM, or at least have them at least review the work once it is done in an interview/presentation fashion.

– Be creative! E.G. contests to decorate PVD Dashboard.

How to Engage… (cont.)

• Get everyone involved: – Make sure everyone has a “job” on a team.

– Make it part of their job/evaluation/review.

• Reward good behavior: – Know your staff and what motivates them.

– Provide a reward if metrics are met; pizza, ice cream, special parking place, special lab coat…

• Make the reward easy at first, harder as time goes on: – Reward good behavior even if failure has occurred!

– Avoid money!!!!! It only makes it harder to motivate them later!

– Make them feel like a team.

How to Engage… (cont.)

• High organizational visibility is a big plus. – Make sure administration/leadership recognizes the team’s

activities and is present at award/reward meetings.

– Have Administration attend huddle meetings periodically.

– Try not to make a big deal out of their attending; make it part of the plan.

– Encourage them to speak BRIEFLY on any organizational global initiatives that the staff might be interested in.

– Possibly the hardest behavior to change is the Administration!

Use All of the Tools

• There is always a tendency to use your favorite tools and avoid some other tools.

• Understand when to use what tools and use them! Even the most difficult tools become easy when you are comfortable using them.

• Don’t use the tools just to use them. – Once you have used a tool make sure that you show the results

and discuss the outcome with the staff at huddle meetings or special meetings of time is needed to show, discuss, plan.

• It helps if you have a reference that discusses the use of the tools.

Standard Work Game

• Standard work is necessary to make any process work efficiently.

• To prove this, we have a game for you to play.

• Play the game without standard instructions.

• The goal is to have only one golf tee left.

• The game plays like “Checkers”.

- As you jump a tee with another tee, remove the tee jumped.

• You have 3 minutes, good luck!

Try it again!

• This time follow the instructions on the next slide.

• You should end up with only one tee left.

• You should always end up with the tee in the same hole (#13).

• You may keep the game as a reminder of the importance of Standard Work, and to remind you to think of BD when you think of Lean-Sigma!

• You have 3 minutes, good luck!

Standard Work

• Hand out two pieces of blank paper.

• Place a grid on the paper as depicted in the next slide. – First use the attached Standard Work for making a Pig.

• The second piece of paper is to make a second version for the “customer” after improving the standard work.

• Draw the letter W at the bottom right intersection. Top center of W touches the intersection.

• Draw an arc from the letter M to the top right intersection.

• Draw another arc from the top right intersection to the bottom right W.

Standard Work… (cont.)

• Draw an arc from the letter M to the tangent of the circle.

• Draw an arc from the left W to the tangent of the circle.

• Draw an arc for the eye. Halfway between M and circle.

• Draw an arc for the mouth. Halfway between W and circle. Must be a happy pig!!

• Draw the cursive letter e near the top arc on the right.
