Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to maximise the value added to process, product or service within a value stream (or supply chain or demand chain).
This unit applies to supervisors, managers, technical officers or similar roles who have been given the authority to build trust with suppliers and customers, facilitate agreements within the value stream and work with value stream members to reduce waste and improve value-add.
This unit assumes that the value stream has been mapped and that the mapping is available.
This unit applies to any organisation.

|
3. Monitor the value added at each step |
3.1 Identify changes in value added by each chain member 3.2 Identify areas where value adding improvements can be made 3.3 Develop a priority list of value adding changes 3.4 Work with chain member to resolve problems and implement improvements |
|
4. Continue to reduce muda (waste) |
4.1 Identify muda (waste) in value stream 4.2 Work with value chain members to continually reduce muda |
Foundation Skills
