    Career Paths That Value Lean Flow Skills

    Demand Across Croatia's Industries

    Value Stream Mapping is one of the most transferable Lean skills in Croatia's industrial economy, valued by automotive, food, pharmaceutical, electronics and logistics employers that compete on efficient flow. As manufacturers modernise for EU supply chains and wages rise, professionals who can see and remove waste are in growing demand, from process engineers to operational excellence managers, and here is what the market is telling us right now.

    Market Forces Driving Lean Demand in Croatia

    Value Stream Mapping is a practical Lean skill your team can use from day one. Give your operations the end-to-end view that turns waste into measurable improvement. Start your VSM journey today.

    Your Croatia Skills Upgrade

    Where You Stand Today,

    And Where VSM Skills Take You

    Croatia's manufacturing base is modernising for EU supply chains, and employers increasingly separate people who can see and fix flow from those who cannot. Here is which side of that line you want to be on.

    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

    • 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

    • 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

    What You Will Be Able to Do

    Hands-On Value Stream Mapping

    This training builds a hands-on Lean skill set: by the end of the day you can map how value flows through your operation, find the waste, and design a leaner future state. Each skill below maps to one of the six VSM modules and is practised through live mapping exercises.

    Read and Define a Value Stream

    You will learn what a value stream is and how to see the full end-to-end flow of materials and information, from customer demand back to raw supply, beyond any single department. This is the foundation every VSM skill builds on.

    Draw the Current-State Map

    Select a product family, walk the process at the Gemba, and capture real data such as cycle time, changeover time, uptime and inventory. You build an honest current-state map that shows how the flow actually works today.

    Spot the Eight Wastes

    Analyse the map to find the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), locate the bottleneck against takt time, and see where material is pushed rather than pulled. You turn a picture into a diagnosis of where value is lost.

    Design the Future-State Map

    Apply the eight future-state questions to design leaner flow, introduce pull systems and supermarkets, and level the schedule at a single pacemaker. You draw a target state that quantifies the improvement.

    Build a Lean Implementation Plan

    Translate the future-state map into a sequenced roadmap of Kaizen events and workstreams, with owners, metrics and review points. You leave able to move a real operation from current to future state.

    Use Standard VSM Symbols and Metrics

    Master the standard VSM symbol set, data boxes, the timeline and Kaizen bursts, and the key metrics of lead time, value-added time and the value-added ratio, so your maps are clear and consistent for any team.
