Industrial Technology
Industrial and manufacturing settings are rapidly changing as a result of technological innovation.
A technically skilled workforce is in high demand. CBIZ can provide you with the in-depth instruction, customized curriculum and hands-on experience to help develop and expand employee skills.
Lean
Value Stream Mapping
Value stream mapping (VSM) creates a visual representation of all product and information flows from raw material receiving to shipping finished product. By including all value added and non-value added (waste) activities in the value stream needed to produce the product, improvement opportunities are identified along with the logical sequence of implementing them. Then a future-state map is drawn to create the blueprint for Lean transformation. Applying VSM to a high-priority pilot process allows companies to demonstrate results that will assure continued interest in applying Lean concepts. Approved course for Lean Practitioner L2 Certificate.
