The listing
The Role
You will deliver VDS's OpEx curriculum on-site and virtually to client teams ranging from shop-floor associates to C-suite executives. This is a hands-on teaching and coaching role, not a lecture-only role: our workshops are built around live application in the client's own value streams, with real data, real constraints, and results measured in weeks.
You will work with multiple clients at multiple sites, often rotating between engagements within the same month, and you will be expected to adapt standard VDS material to each client's industry, culture, and maturity level without diluting the methodology.
What You'll Teach
You must be able to deliver, or rapidly become certified to deliver, the VDS course catalog:
Course | Duration |
|---|---|
The World Class Organization | 5-day |
Introduction to Lean Transformations | 1-day |
Cellular Design for OEM, Office, and MRO | 5-day |
Value Stream Process Management | 4-day |
Root Cause Analysis and Mistake Proofing | 3-day |
Hoshin Kanri – Policy Deployment | 3-day |
Shop Floor Management | 3-day |
Leader Standard Work | 3-day |
Business Process Kaizen (BPK) | 5-day |
3P Production Preparation Process | 5-day |
Total Preventative Maintenance (TPM) | 1-day |
6S for Flow | 1-day |
Conducting Market Feedback Analysis | 2-day |
Train the Trainer | 5-day |
Co-Learning Partnership (A3: Leader as Problem-Solver / Leader as Coach) | 90-day program |
Instruction spans all VDS competency tracks: Lean — Associate, Practitioner, and Master; Six Sigma / Quality — Yellow, Green, and Black Belt; and Executive level for enterprise transformation and strategic planning.
The Frameworks You'll Represent
VDS Business System® — our five-step implementation methodology, typically executed in 90 to 120 days: Assessment → Design → Implementation → Training and Coaching → Review and Optimization. Built on three pillars: customer-centricity, process orientation, and data-driven decision making.
Value Driven Approach® — our rapid method for closing performance gaps: Define Value → Map the Value Stream → Create Flow → Establish Pull → Pursue Perfection. Instructors are expected to teach this framework in a way that supports the ROI commitments VDS makes to clients.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver VDS workshops, simulations, and coaching sessions on-site at client facilities and virtually, to audiences from operator to executive level.
- Tailor standard VDS content to the client's industry, terminology, culture, and current-state maturity while preserving methodology fidelity.
- Facilitate live kaizen events, value stream mapping sessions, Gemba walks, and A3 coaching using the client's actual processes and data.
- Coach client leaders and internal facilitators so capability transfers to the organization — including Train the Trainer delivery to build the client's own instructor bench.
- Partner with the VDS engagement team and client sponsors to align training content to the engagement's KPI and savings targets.
- Assess participant competency, provide feedback, and recommend certification or additional development.
- Track and report training outcomes, participant progress, and observed improvement opportunities back to the VDS Practice Lead and the client sponsor.
