This is one of the higher level WCM training courses run as an integral part of the WCM TPM programme within an organisation. It is designed to build on other Total Productive Maintenance experiences and provide the skills and knowledge to help solve more complex or chronic site problems.

Comments:
Candidates will be continually assessed / coached during the course. A written examination on the final day to check understanding is normally set based on the organisations discretion. Delegates who fail may be given an oral examination to clarify their understanding of the course.
The Course is normally residential on a factory site and run over 5 days (Monday to Friday inclusive) this excludes any travelling time.
To reinforce the knowledge gained on the course and to deliver benefits for their own site, delegates are expected to lead and complete a focused improvement project in their own factory within 100 days of returning from the course. Immediately following the course, the host site Black Caps are expected to complete the course FI projects and implement the solutions.
The Course normally has places for up to 12 delegates although larger courses are possible by negotiation.  Delegates are usually ‘not’ from the host site due to the amount of course preparation / supervision.

Designed to teach you how to devise and sustain a Value Stream Mapping (VSM) project, the purpose of which is to develop your company’s Current and Future State maps for a product line. From this we will assist you with the creation of your Implementation Plan. The Implementation Plan will identify immediate cost savings that can be made through the application of Value Stream Mapping.

Delegates who have little or no prior knowledge of the subject matter are welcome to attend this training. Through a mixture of simulation and practical project work the course will give employees the necessary tools and techniques to be able to go on and complete their own VSM project.

Due to the strategic nature of this event we recommend that support is granted from site management in order to drive the indentified improvement projects forward. This would come from having an overall responsibility for a factory or workplace improvement programme, or be in an operational management position within a manufacturing or process environment.
