5S Workspace Organization
5S is one of many important tools used within the Lean method to help create and maintain
order. You will learn how to assess an area and apply a systematic approach to create
order and efficiency within a workspace. You will explore systems to help maintain
improvements over the long term. These principles will be applied in an out-of-class,
hands-on project..

Value Stream Mapping
Value stream mapping (VSM) creates a visual representation of all product and information
flows from raw material receiving to shipping finished Lego products! By including
all value-added and non-value-added (waste) activities in the Lego assembly 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
Lego process allows companies to demonstrate results that will ensure continued interest
in applying Lean concepts. *Prerequisite: Lean 101 Lego.
