Value Stream Learning
See the whole system—and your role in keeping it running flawlessly. This stream walks you through Value Stream Mapping and every production stage in detail: raw-material intake and preparation; twisting and ply formation; dyeing and rinsing; bonding and lubrication; polishing for surface consistency; final winding to defined package geometry; and packaging with correct labeling, traceability, and storage. You’ll learn how Operator SSM supports standard work, skills deployment, and safe machine operation; how material flows and handovers are organized; and where in-process controls (samples, lab tests, visual checks) verify quality against specifications. The outcome: you’ll understand how value is created end-to-end, which KPIs matter at each step, and how your decisions influence cost, lead time, and customer satisfaction—so you can strengthen flow, prevent defects, reduce waste, and elevate product quality.
