    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

    • 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

    • 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

    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

    Course Curriculum

    of the Value Stream Mapping Training

    The online Value Stream Mapping training course curriculum in the China is structured across nine modules delivered in a one-day intensive programme. The course takes learners from foundational VSM concepts through to current state analysis, future state design, and execution planning, with each module building practical skills that can be applied directly in workplace improvement projects.

    The Practical Value Stream Skills You Will Build

    Skills You Apply on Day One

    The training helps you move from theory to application. By the end, you can map, analyse and redesign a real value stream, and build an implementation plan that connects daily work to measurable flow and lead-time improvement.

    Map the Current State

    You will learn to select a product family, walk the process from customer to supplier, and capture cycle time, changeover, inventory and working time to build an accurate current-state value stream map with a lead-time timeline.

    Read the Eight Wastes

    Distinguish value-added, non-value-added and necessary non-value-added activity, and systematically find the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME) on the map, from overproduction and waiting to excess inventory and defects.

    Find the Bottleneck and Takt Time

    Calculate takt time from customer demand, compare it with cycle times, and locate the constraint that limits flow, so you target the highest-impact improvement rather than the easiest one.

    Design the Future State

    Apply the eight future-state questions to design for continuous flow, pull systems, supermarkets, kanban and a single pacemaker process, then quantify the improvement against the current state.

    Use Standard VSM Symbols

    Work fluently with the standard mapping notation, process and data boxes, material and information flow arrows, inventory triangles, kanban symbols and Kaizen bursts, so your maps are clear to any team.

    Build the Improvement Roadmap

    Turn a future-state map into a sequenced implementation plan, scope Kaizen events, set baseline metrics, and standardise new ways of working so improvements are sustained over time.
