Brian Maskell. President

When people hear the term “value stream management” they think about mapping and kaizen events to improve the flow and eliminate waste for the company’s value streams. These are important tasks and are at the heart of lean manufacturing; but there is much more to Value Stream Management. The Value Stream Managers – and other company managers and executives – must develop a lean management system that drives lean forward and creates the culture of lean so essential to true success.

In the highly practical and down-to-earth presentation, Mr. Maskell will outline a framework for a Value Stream Management approach dealing with:

• Control of the value streams
• Improvement of the value streams
• Planning the value streams
• Managing the value stream team
