    What Is Value Stream Mapping and Why Does It Matter in Chile?Your Practical Route to Leaner Operations

    Value Stream Mapping (VSM) training in Chile teaches you a core Lean technique for seeing, analysing and improving the full flow of materials and information that brings a product or service to the customer. In one focused, hands-on programme you learn to build current-state and future-state maps, expose waste and bottlenecks, and turn them into an actionable improvement plan. The method comes from the Toyota Production System and was set out for practitioners by Mike Rother and John Shook in Learning to See (1998), published by the Lean Enterprise Institute. It remains one of the most practical Lean tools for operations, quality and process teams. With Chile's mining, manufacturing and services sectors under real pressure to lift productivity, professionals who can map and streamline value are increasingly sought after. Whether you work in continuous improvement, engineering or operations, this training gives you a skill you can apply the very next day. Start your Lean journey with Invensis Learning.

    The VSM Skills You Will BuildFrom First Map to Improvement Plan

    This Value Stream Mapping course builds hands-on capability across the full VSM cycle, from Lean foundations and standard symbols to current-state mapping, analysis, future-state design and implementation planning. By the end you can map, analyse and improve a real value stream.

    Lean Foundations and the Eight Wastes

    Ground your mapping in Lean thinking: the five Lean principles, value-added versus non-value-added work, and the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME) that Value Stream Mapping is built to reveal.

    Reading and Using Standard VSM Symbols

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

    Building the Current-State Map

    Select a product family, walk the value stream (Gemba), and capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory to draw an honest picture of how work flows today.

    Analysing Waste, Bottlenecks and Takt Time

    Read the map to find the constraint, calculate takt time, compare push versus pull, and prioritise the highest-impact opportunities using Kaizen bursts.

    Designing the Future-State Map

    Use the eight future-state questions to design for flow, introduce pull and supermarkets, level the schedule, and quantify the gain in lead time and value-added ratio.

    Turning Maps into an Implementation Plan

    Convert the future-state vision into a costed roadmap and Kaizen event schedule, set metrics, and sustain the gains with standard work and a regular review cycle.
