Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to analyse and map a value stream, including the clear identification of the place of an organisation in the value stream and its contribution to the value stream. The unit includes the relationships and the activities undertaken by value stream organisations. The identification skills include identification at the virtual or information level, the technical or process level, and at the physical or logistic level.The unit includes the analysis of value-adding and non-value adding activities and the information needs for successful value stream mapping, including information technology (IT) needs.This unit covers the analysis of the supply chain, the demand chain as well as the overall value stream.This unit applies to an individual in a senior role in an organisation, such as an operations manager, purchasing manager, senior technical officer performing planning or scheduling or similar who needs to analyse and map a value stream, a supply chain, or a demand chain in order to understand the interactions between all members and determine the value added/potential value added by each member. The value stream is represented visually according to organisation format requirements.The value stream may be being mapped for the first time, or it may be an analysis and mapping of a previously mapped value stream. The analysis and mapping may be for an entire value stream, or a defined part of one.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
