    Why VSM Skills Pay off at WorkFor You and Your Team

    Where VSM Skills Take You in the Greek MarketIn-Demand Roles and Sectors

    Value Stream Mapping skills are increasingly valued across Greek industry, where food and beverage, metals, pharmaceuticals, energy and logistics firms are all working to cut waste and shorten lead times. As Greece modernises its factories under the Greece 2.0 and Greece 4.0 programmes, professionals who can map and streamline end-to-end flow stand out. Demand runs from process and quality engineers up to operations, supply chain and production managers, and here is what the market looks like now.

    Market Forces Driving Lean Improvement in Greece

    Value Stream Mapping turns these pressures into a clear plan. Build the skill to see waste, streamline flow and lead improvement in your Greek operation. Start today.

    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 programs

    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

    • Recognizing 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 organizational 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 Curriculumof the Value Stream Mapping Training

    The online Value Stream Mapping training course curriculum in the Greece is structured across nine modules delivered in a one-day intensive program. 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 VSM Skills You Will BuildFrom Current State to Future State

    Value Stream Mapping training teaches you to see, analyse and redesign the end-to-end flow of any operation. Across a hands-on day you build six practical capabilities, from drawing your first current-state map to planning the improvements that make the future state real.

    Read a Value Stream

    Define value from the customer's view and tell value-adding, non-value-adding and necessary activities apart, using the five Lean principles and the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) to frame every process.

    Draw a Current-State Map

    Select a product family, walk the process on a Gemba walk, and capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory with standard VSM symbols to show how work really flows today.

    Analyse Waste and Bottlenecks

    Find the constraint, calculate takt time, and spot where material is pushed rather than pulled, so you can rank improvement opportunities by real impact instead of guesswork.

    Design a Future-State Map

    Apply the eight future-state questions to build continuous flow, pull systems and levelled scheduling, then mark Kaizen bursts where the biggest gains sit.

    Plan the Implementation

    Turn the future-state map into a sequenced roadmap of workstreams and Kaizen events, with baseline metrics and clear owners so improvement actually happens.

    Sustain the Gains

    Lock in results with standard work, daily management and a repeating VSM cycle, embedding continuous improvement rather than settling for a one-off fix.

    What Our Learners Say

    Found a Bottleneck We Had Lived with for Years

    "The mapping exercises made it click. I walked our packaging line the following week, drew the current-state map and found a bottleneck we had lived with for years. Practical from the first hour."

    Nikos Papadakis

    Production Supervisor

    Takt Time and Pull Finally Made Sense

    "I finally understand takt time and how to read where material is pushed instead of pulled. The trainer used real examples, and I now facilitate mapping sessions for my own team with confidence."

    Eleni Georgiou

    Process Engineer

    0/0

    A Structured Way to Redesign Flow

    "A clear, practical day. The future-state design questions gave me a structured way to redesign our replenishment loops rather than just reacting. I applied it to our warehouse flow within a fortnight."

    Dimitris Antoniou

    Supply Chain Analyst

    0/0

    Aligned Our Whole Team in a Day

    "We booked the onsite session for a mixed team from operations, quality and engineering. Mapping one of our own value streams together aligned everyone on where the waste was. The best improvement kick-off we have run."
