    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

    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

    The Practical Skills You Will Build

    Hands-On Lean Mapping

    In this Value Stream Mapping course you will learn to map, analyse and redesign the end-to-end flow of any product or service. You gain hands-on practice with the standard Lean tools that expose waste, improve flow and connect delivery to customer demand.

    Define and Scope a Value Stream

    Understand what a value stream is, select a product family to map, and tell value-added, non-value-added and necessary activities apart using the five Lean principles and the eight wastes (DOWNTIME).

    Apply the Standard VSM Symbols

    Use the standard Lean mapping notation for process boxes, material and information flow, inventory, kanban, data boxes and Kaizen bursts, so your maps are clear and consistent for any team.

    Build an Accurate Current-State Map

    Run a Gemba walk to gather real data, capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory, and complete the timeline to reveal total lead time versus value-added time.

    Analyse Waste, Takt and Bottlenecks

    Read the map to find the eight wastes, calculate takt time, compare push and pull flow, and pinpoint the bottleneck that truly limits output across the value stream.

    Design a Leaner Future-State Map

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

    Plan and Sustain Improvement

    Turn the future-state map into an implementation roadmap, plan Kaizen events, set metrics, and use standard work to make improvements stick over time.
