Learn-Lean Value Magnets will help you to analyze and to redesign your value stream very fast following a standardized procedure. The Production Set contains magnets with standardized value stream icons for the visualization of manufacturing, assembly, and production. Due to the uniform size of the Value Magnets you can depict a value stream within a very short time on the standardized grid of the Value Paper. For single-use on existing magnetic whiteboards, 10 sheets of Value Paper sized 178 x 69 cm (approx.70 x 27.2 inch) are included in the set.

For use in changing locations and depending on specific requirements we recommend other available types of the standard grid: Value Board, Value Paper or Value Paper Glossy. You decide where, how, and on which surface you present your value stream!

Value Magnets especially designed for use in the production sector are available in two sizes: Production Set Standard and Production Set Extended. The Standard Set comprises 269 Value Magnets sufficient to display up to 15 process steps;

the Extended Set contains 530 Value Magnets for the presentation of up to 30 sub-processes (detailed list of the enclosed magnets).

Value Magnets are sorted in a convenient textile roll bag, stowed in a high-value facilitator's toolcase. You will get an efficient and well-conceived complete package containing also three dry-wipeable markers, a sponge, and a short manual.

Using Learn-Lean Value Magnets, the most powerful Lean instrument for continuous improvement and optimization of overall processes, the value stream analysis, is at your disposal. The value stream method makes processes and the entire value chain from ramp to ramp or across entire supply chains transparent - intelligible and clear. Complex interrelations are simplified, inventories and lead times of materials and processes are determined based on collected real data. Transparency gained this way helps you to identify waste - highlighted by Kaizen flashs, to deduce improvement potentials

directly, and rate them against one another. This allows you to develop concepts for improvement, effectuating an increase in efficiency of the whole process.

With the aid of the magnets you use the creative influence on the participants transfering a value stream in a playful way from current state to future state. When consistently applied, isolated optimizations of single processes become a thing of the past.

Utilizing value stream analysis and design as a team event, you increase the acceptance of all participants for further optimizations. Value Magnets will effectuate a playful and fault-tolerant approach of the team members. Preprinted help instructions on the Value Magnets serve hereby as a kind of checklist, ensuring that no important data are left behind. Standardized icons of the Value Magnets support transparency of a visualization and make a lasting and sustainable application of the value stream method easier.

Start your value stream from right (customer) towards the left (supplier). A central alignment can be accomplished later by simply shifting the magnets. The eyes of the viewer will always find a professional presentation.

A typical approach when using Value Magnets is the representation of a current state and the subsequent

transfer to an optimized future state. Alternatively, you can develop current and future states separately and arrange them one below the other.

Notes, data, and results are written down on the Value Magnets by means of dry wipeable markers. Corrections can be done easily by shifting of magnets or wiping of notes. Semi-transparent help instructions

on the Value Magnets serve hereby as a kind of checklist, ensuring that no important data are left behind. A consistent colour scheme gives you guidance to complete the magnets correctly - red, e. g., is the identification colour of inventories. The symbols have a high recognition value and are particularly memorable due to repeated use.
