Company description

Value Stream Solutions Inc. was founded on the premise that companies should have the skills and abilities to continuously improve their performance year over year by engaging People, focusing on the Process, and delivering superior Product to their markets. We are a consulting and training company serving North American corporations in manufacturing and service industries. Our team's expertise in Lean Enterprise, Six Sigma, Team Building, Leadership Development and Coaching give us the ability to assist you need to get the results you want. Our goal is to create self sustaining capabilities within your organization. We have learned there is no one-way of implementing the Lean methodology. Therefore, when working with a client to address a specific improvement opportunity or implementing a complete Lean system across the entire organization, we follow a structured sequence of proven effectiveness: Communicate the process and basic tools to stake holders. Assess the current state and develop future state goals. Develop appropriate value stream measures. Prioritize improvement activities based on data. Implement solutions & make it the new habit. The goal of this methodology is to move away from bureaucratic, individual expert driven improvement systems to those that are highly participative and driven by process owners and operators. As events progress, improvement projects will increasingly be led by internal facilitators who have been T3 (Train-the-Trainer) trained. Our approach helps to ensure that the highest priority opportunities are being acted upon and that the appropriate learning occurs where the need arises. Our methods are also focused toward teaching and coaching internal experts to become the teachers and leaders or tomorrow. We prefer to teach organizations how to do what we do so that they do not become reliant upon consultants over the long term for sustained results. Instead, we help our clients identify key personnel to ‘learn while doing’ during the implementation of Lean methodologies so that the seed of knowledge and results begins to sprout and grow rapidly throughout the organization and ensures that there are resources in place to handle this.
