    Your Bermuda Career Transformation

    The Shift from Reacting to Improving

    Before and After You Learn Value Stream Mapping

    Bermuda's high-cost, service-led economy rewards professionals who can make work flow faster and cheaper. Value Stream Mapping is the skill that separates people who react to problems from those who redesign the process. Here is the shift it makes.

    Module 2: What is Value Stream Mapping

    • Understanding the purpose, origins, and core principles of Value Stream Mapping as a lean tool
    • Distinguishing between VSM and traditional process maps, swimlane diagrams, and flowcharts
    • Exploring the two-map framework: current state mapping and future state design
    • Understanding when and how VSM is used within lean transformation and continuous improvement programs

    Module 3: Benefits of VSM

    • Identifying how VSM supports waste elimination across the eight types of lean waste
    • Understanding how VSM improves process efficiency by providing a shared visual of the entire value stream
    • Exploring how VSM supports lean transformation by connecting improvement projects to a clear future state vision
    • Reviewing case examples where VSM led to measurable reductions in lead time, inventory, and defect rates

    Module 4: Common Mistakes in VSM

    • Recognizing the impact of stakeholder gaps, including insufficient cross-functional involvement in mapping sessions
    • Understanding how resistance to change affects VSM adoption and how to address it proactively
    • Identifying mistakes related to neglecting the impact of proposed future state changes on downstream processes
    • Exploring other common pitfalls such as mapping at the wrong level of detail, skipping data collection, and failing to act on future state designs

    Module 5: Project Phases

    • Understanding the preparation phase including scoping the value stream, selecting the team, and setting objectives
    • Developing a value stream charter that defines the improvement scope, boundaries, goals, and success criteria
    • Planning data collection activities and establishing baseline metrics before beginning the current state walk
    • Aligning project phases with lean project management practices and organizational improvement governance

    Module 6: Understanding Current State

    • Conducting the VSM kick-off meeting and aligning the team on mapping scope and objectives
    • Performing value stream walks to observe and document actual process steps, flows, and information movement
    • Using standard VSM icons and notation to represent production processes, inventory, push arrows, and information flows
    • Populating data boxes with cycle time, changeover time, uptime, and other key process metrics
    • Identifying bottlenecks, wait times, and waste accumulation points in the current state map
    • Adding timeline swim lanes to calculate total lead time and process time across the value stream

    Module 7: Designing Future State

    • Applying the eight future state design questions to guide improvement decisions for the new value stream layout
    • Setting target metrics for cycle time, lead time, inventory levels, and flow efficiency in the future state
    • Using Kaizen bursts to mark specific improvement opportunities on the future state map
    • Documenting the future state map and communicating the target condition to stakeholders

    Module 8: Execution Planning

    • Defining improvement objectives derived from the gap between current state and future state maps
    • Identifying and allocating the resources, tools, and team members needed to execute the improvement plan
    • Selecting KPIs and establishing baseline measurements to track progress against future state targets
    • Conducting risk assessment for the execution plan and building mitigation strategies for common barriers

    Module 9: Plan Execution

    • Implementing the improvement plan using structured project management and lean execution techniques
    • Monitoring progress against KPIs and updating the value stream map to reflect improvements achieved
    • Communicating progress and results to stakeholders through visual management and structured review meetings
    • Embedding improvements into standard work and establishing ongoing measurement to sustain future state performance

    The Practical Lean Skills You Will Build

    Mapping, Analysis and Improvement Planning

    This programme builds the full Value Stream Mapping skill set, from drawing an accurate current-state map to designing a leaner future state and planning the improvement. By the end, you can facilitate a mapping workshop for your own team and turn analysis into action.

    Map the Current State of Any Process

    Here is what you will gain from Value Stream Mapping training: walk the process at the Gemba, capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory, and draw an accurate current-state map that shows how work really flows today.

    Spot the Eight Wastes of Lean

    Use the DOWNTIME framework to identify defects, overproduction, waiting, unused talent, transport, inventory, motion and over-processing, then separate value-adding from non-value-adding activity across the whole flow.

    Apply Standard VSM Symbols and Data Boxes

    Read and use the standard symbol set for process boxes, push and pull arrows, inventory triangles, kanban and information flow, so your maps stay clear and consistent for any team that reads them.

    Calculate Takt Time and Find the Bottleneck

    Work out takt time from customer demand, compare it to each step's cycle time, and locate the constraint that limits overall flow, so improvement effort targets the highest-impact point first.

    Design a Leaner Future State

    Apply the eight future-state questions to design continuous flow, pull systems and supermarkets, level the schedule, and quantify the improvement from current to future state as a clear business case.

    Build an Implementation and Kaizen Plan

    Turn the future-state map into a sequenced roadmap of Kaizen events, set baseline metrics, and standardise new ways of working so that the gains are sustained rather than lost over time.

    What Our Learners Say

    Immediately Useful Back at Work

    "The hands-on mapping exercises made it click for me. I walked our claims process the following week, drew the current-state map, and spotted three hand-offs that were adding days of delay. It is the most immediately useful training I have done."

    Danielle Simmons

    Operations Analyst, Reinsurance

    0/0

    Beginner Friendly and Practical

    "I came in with no Lean background and left able to build both a current and future-state map. The trainer used real service examples, not just factory ones, which made it relevant to my role in banking operations."

    Andre Tucker

    Process Improvement Officer

    0/0

    Finally Understood Our Bottleneck

    "Clear explanation of takt time, the eight wastes and the standard symbols. I now understand where our bottleneck really is rather than guessing. The future-state design section gave me a plan I could take straight to my manager."

    Nadia Furbert

    Supply Chain Coordinator

    0/0

    Great Onsite Team Session

    "We ran this as an onsite session for our operations team and mapped one of our live patient pathways during the day. Everyone left with the same view of the flow and a shared vocabulary for improvement. Excellent facilitation."

    Michael Rego

    Head of Service Improvement, Healthcare

    0/0

    Built Real In-House Capability

    "As an L&D lead I wanted training that would actually change how the team works. This delivered. The group can now facilitate its own mapping workshops, so we rely far less on external consultants for improvement projects."
