  • This is Ahmed Radwan, MBA,  Continuous Improvement Practitioner with 14+ Years of Experience in the Lean / Six Sigma Field. Check my credentials below.


  • Values Stream Mapping is a very powerful and must-have tool for any continuous improvement professional. It helps develop an overall continuous improvement journey on the value stream, rather than doing "point improvements".

  • Continuous improvement or lean or six sigma leader

  • Manager in Factory

  • Business Owner
