Definición y Medición
En este curso conoceremos la importancia del Mapeo de Flujo de Valor la cual es una herramienta que nos sirve para ver y entender un proceso e identificar sus desperdicios, permitiendo detectar fuentes de ventaja competitiva, ya que nos permite ayudar a establecer un lenguaje común entre todos los usuarios y comunicar ideas de mejora enfocado al uso de un plan priorizando los esfuerzos de mejoramiento. Es importante mencionar que el flujo de valor es la técnica de dibujar un “mapa” o diagrama de flujo que nos permite mostrar los materiales e información desde el proveedor hasta el cliente y que busca reducir y eliminar desperdicios pudiendo ser útil en la planeación estratégica y la gestión del cambio. Existen diferentes formatos de diagrama de flujo como el SIPOC siendo de los más utilizados y una vez que se concluye su uso, nos muestra todos los proveedores, los procesos y los clientes, para proceder a seleccionar la ruta crítica a mapear para el VSM con el objetivo de mejorar el proceso o el sistema en base al plan estratégico de la empresa. Podemos resumir que, en primer lugar, debemos definir cuál es el problema que queremos resolver, tenemos que ponernos en situación, saber dónde estamos. Esto es importante, ya que será difícil continuar si fallamos en el primer paso. La definición del mismo es fundamental para establecer unos correctos KPIs que nos permitan tener un mejor conocimiento de la situación. Una vez que sabemos dónde estamos, deberemos saber a dónde vamos. El camino tiene que ser medible, y por ello, definir unas métricas a seguir y que nos ayuden a conocer la situación en la que se encuentra el problema que queremos resolver. Debemos medir estos indicadores y establecer finalmente una ruta de seguimiento que nos permita más adelante poder analizar la situación. Al terminar el segundo curso de Definición y Medición: • Identificarás las áreas de oportunidad y desperdicios en el mapa del estado actual. • Generarás la creación de pasos para el mapa del estado futuro de acuerdo con las características de pensamiento esbelto. • Definirás los proyectos de mejora a través del mapa del estado futuro.

Economics of Money and Banking
The last three or four decades have seen a remarkable evolution in the institutions that comprise the modern monetary system. The financial crisis of 2007-2009 is a wakeup call that we need a similar evolution in the analytical apparatus and theories that we use to understand that system. Produced and sponsored by the Institute for New Economic Thinking, this course is an attempt to begin the process of new economic thinking by reviving and updating some forgotten traditions in monetary thought that have become newly relevant. Three features of the new system are central. Most important, the intertwining of previously separate capital markets and money markets has produced a system with new dynamics as well as new vulnerabilities. The financial crisis revealed those vulnerabilities for all to see. The result was two years of desperate innovation by central banking authorities as they tried first this, and then that, in an effort to stem the collapse. Second, the global character of the crisis has revealed the global character of the system, which is something new in postwar history but not at all new from a longer time perspective. Central bank cooperation was key to stemming the collapse, and the details of that cooperation hint at the outlines of an emerging new international monetary order. Third, absolutely central to the crisis was the operation of key derivative contracts, most importantly credit default swaps and foreign exchange swaps. Modern money cannot be understood separately from modern finance, nor can modern monetary theory be constructed separately from modern financial theory. That's the reason this course places dealers, in both capital markets and money markets, at the very center of the picture, as profit-seeking suppliers of market liquidity to the new system of market-based credit.
