    Map the Flow of Value from Concept to CustomerUntitledA Practical Lean Technique for Fiji Teams

    Value Stream Mapping Training in Fiji equips operations and improvement professionals with one of the most practical skills in Lean management: the ability to see, analyse and redesign the flow of value across their processes. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a technique for creating a single, visual picture of every step needed to take a product or service from concept to customer, so waste, delays and bottlenecks become impossible to ignore. The technique is rooted in the Toyota Production System and was formalised for practitioners by Mike Rother and John Shook in Learning to See (1998), still the reference approach taught today. There is no formal test and no awarding body; this is a hands-on, one-day skills course that builds capability you use straight away. Across Fiji's manufacturing, food and beverage, and logistics operations, leaders who can map a value stream and design a leaner future state are increasingly valued. Delivered in online (live virtual), classroom and onsite formats, the training suits production managers, engineers, quality and supply chain professionals ready to turn everyday processes into measurable improvement.

    The Lean Tools You Will Put to WorkFrom Current-State Maps to Future-State Plans

    Value stream mapping training teaches you to visualise, analyse and improve the flow of value from concept to customer. By the end of the one-day programme you can build both current-state and future-state maps and plan the improvements they reveal.

    Read and Draw Standard VSM Maps

    Use the standard value stream mapping symbols to represent process, material and information flow, so any team member can read and contribute to the same map.

    Capture a True Current-State Map

    Walk the value stream through a Gemba walk, gather cycle time, changeover and inventory data by direct observation, and build an honest baseline of how work really flows today.

    Spot the Eight Wastes and Bottlenecks

    Analyse a completed map to find overproduction, waiting, excess inventory and the bottleneck that limits your entire flow, then prioritise the highest-impact opportunities.

    Calculate Takt Time and Flow Metrics

    Work out takt time, lead time and the value-added ratio so improvement decisions rest on real numbers rather than opinion or guesswork.

    Design a Leaner Future-State Map

    Apply the eight future-state questions to introduce continuous flow, pull systems and levelling, then quantify the improvement from current to future state.

    Build an Implementation Roadmap

    Turn the future-state vision into Kaizen workstreams, metrics and standard work, so the improvements you plan actually take hold and last.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Value stream mapping is a Lean technique for drawing the end-to-end flow of materials and information needed to deliver a product or service, so you can see waste and design a leaner flow. It comes from the Toyota Production System and was popularised by Rother and Shook in Learning to See (1998).

    General

    What is value stream mapping?

    Value stream mapping is a Lean technique for drawing the end-to-end flow of materials and information needed to deliver a product or service, so you can see waste and design a leaner flow. It comes from the Toyota Production System and was popularised by Rother and Shook in Learning to See (1998).

    Is value stream mapping training worth it?

    Yes. In one hands-on day you gain a practical skill that is scarce and valued across Fiji's manufacturing, food and beverage, and logistics operations. It supports roles from continuous improvement officer to operations and operational excellence manager, and you can apply what you learn straight away.

    Who should attend this training in Fiji?

    The course suits operations and production managers, Lean practitioners, engineers, and quality and supply chain professionals who want to identify and remove waste. It also fits anyone in an operational improvement role who needs to see and improve end-to-end process flow.

    Do I need prior Lean experience to join?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. Some familiarity with Lean ideas such as waste and flow is helpful, but the course introduces every concept it uses, so beginners and experienced practitioners can both take part comfortably.

    What approach and standard does the training follow?

    The training follows the standard value stream mapping approach set out in Learning to See (1998) by Mike Rother and John Shook, using the recognised VSM symbol set and the Lean principles of the Toyota Production System. There is no single awarding body for the technique.

    Pricing

    How much does value stream mapping training cost in Fiji?

    Pricing is available on request and depends on your chosen format, whether online (live virtual), classroom or onsite corporate, and on group size. Contact a learning advisor for a tailored quote for individuals or teams in Fiji.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee covers instructor-led delivery of all six VSM modules, hands-on current-state and future-state mapping exercises, structured courseware, templates and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Ask us for the full inclusions when you request a quote.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer group pricing for teams, with customised schedules and delivery for production, quality, logistics or cross-functional groups. Volume-based rates apply for larger cohorts. Ask about corporate and group pricing for your organisation.

    Are payment or instalment options available?

    Yes. We accept common payment methods and can discuss instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that best suits you or your team.

    Is this a single paid one-day programme?

    Yes. Value stream mapping training is a one-day, eight-hour programme, and the fee reflects that single session with all materials included. The exact fee is available on request based on format and group size.

    Assessment

    How will my learning be assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. You learn by building real current-state and future-state maps and discussing them with the trainer and peers, so understanding is reinforced through doing rather than testing.

    Do I receive a completion record?

    Yes. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning once you finish the one-day programme. It confirms your participation in the value stream mapping training.

    Is this a skills course or does it award a qualification?

    It is a practical skills course. It does not award a formal qualification and has no awarding body; the value is the value stream mapping capability you can use straight away at work, plus a course completion record.

    Will I be able to run a mapping workshop afterwards?

    Yes. By the end you can select a product family, walk the value stream, draw current and future-state maps, identify waste, and plan the improvements. Many learners facilitate their first workshop within weeks.

    Does this skill stay relevant over time?

    Yes. Value stream mapping is a stable, established Lean technique, so what you learn stays relevant. You simply keep applying and deepening it on real value streams as your operations evolve.

    Course Content

    What topics does the value stream mapping course cover?

    The course covers six modules: Lean foundations, the standard VSM symbols, creating the current-state map, analysing that map, designing the future-state map, and implementation planning. Hands-on mapping exercises run throughout the day.

    What is the difference between current and future-state maps?

    A current-state map shows how a value stream actually works today, based on direct observation. A future-state map shows the leaner flow you design after removing waste. Comparing the two quantifies the improvement and drives your action plan.

    Are there hands-on exercises in the training?

    Yes. You build both a current-state and a future-state map for a realistic operational scenario during the session. In corporate delivery, teams can map one of their own value streams for immediate, practical value.

    Which Lean concepts will I learn?

    You learn the five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), the difference between value-added and non-value-added activity, takt time, and push versus pull systems, all applied directly through value stream mapping.

    Do I need special software to attend?

    No. Value stream mapping is taught with the standard symbol set and can be done with pen and paper or simple tools. This keeps the focus on seeing the flow rather than on any particular software.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in value stream mapping training in Fiji?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete your booking, and you receive schedule details, courseware and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you would like help choosing a format.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom sessions, and customised corporate onsite delivery for teams. You can choose the format that best fits your schedule and learning preference.

    Can teams be trained onsite in Fiji?

    Yes. We deliver onsite and live virtual group training for teams across Fiji, scheduled around your shifts and mapping your own value streams during the session. Contact us to arrange a group booking for your organisation.

    How soon can I start?

    New sessions run regularly in live virtual and classroom formats. See upcoming schedules on the website or speak with a learning advisor to find the next available date that suits you or your team.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my booking?
