    Your Ivory Coast Improvement Journey

    How This Lean Skill Changes the Way You Work

    The Shift from Busy to Lean Operations

    Ivory Coast's industrial and services economy is growing fast, and employers increasingly separate people who can simply run a process from those who can redesign it. Here is what changes once you can map, analyse and improve a full value stream.

    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 programmes

    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

    • Recognising 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 organisational 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

    The Skills You Will Build in This Course

    A Complete Method You Can Apply at Work

    This Value Stream Mapping course teaches you the full VSM method: reading value from the customer's view, mapping the current state, finding waste and the bottleneck, designing a future state, and planning the improvements needed to get there. You practise on realistic scenarios so the skills transfer straight to your own operation.

    Read Value and Spot the Eight Wastes

    Define value from the customer's perspective and tell value-added, non-value-added and necessary work apart. Use the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME) to reveal defects, overproduction, waiting, excess inventory, motion, transport and over-processing across your flow.

    Use Standard VSM Symbols

    Apply the standard Value Stream Mapping symbol set for process boxes, material and information flow, inventory triangles, kanban and data boxes, so your maps stay clear and consistent for any cross-functional team.

    Build an Accurate Current-State Map

    Select a product family, walk the value stream through a Gemba walk, and capture real process data such as cycle time, changeover time, uptime and inventory to draw a current-state map that reflects how work actually runs today.

    Analyse Flow and Find the Bottleneck

    Calculate takt time, compare push and pull, and identify the constraint that limits output. Prioritise the highest-impact improvement opportunities and mark them on the map with Kaizen bursts.

    Design a Leaner Future-State Map

    Use the eight future-state questions to design continuous flow, pull systems and supermarkets, level the schedule, and quantify the gains in lead time, inventory and value-added ratio from current to future state.

    Plan and Sustain the Improvement

    Turn the future-state map into an implementation roadmap and Kaizen plan, set the metrics to track, and use standard work to make improvements stick as an ongoing continuous improvement discipline.
