    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
    • Embedding improvements into standard work and establishing ongoing measurement to sustain future state performance

    Skills You Will Build in This VSM Training

    Practical Mapping You Can Run Yourself

    In this Value Stream Mapping training you will learn to map, analyse and redesign the end-to-end flow of any product or service. Each session builds a hands-on skill you can apply to your own operations the next day, from drawing your first current-state map to planning the Kaizen events that deliver the future state.

    Map the Current State of Any Value Stream

    Walk the process Gemba-style from customer back to supplier, capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory by direct observation, and draw an honest current-state map that shows how the flow really works today.

    Read and Use the Standard VSM Symbols

    Apply process boxes, push and pull arrows, inventory triangles, kanban, data boxes and Kaizen bursts so that operations, quality and logistics all read the same map the same way.

    Expose the Eight Wastes and the Bottleneck

    Analyse the map with the DOWNTIME framework to find defects, overproduction, waiting, inventory and more, then pinpoint the constraint that limits the pace of the whole flow.

    Calculate Takt Time, Lead Time and Flow

    Work out takt time from customer demand, compare it against cycle times to spot imbalance, and use the value-added ratio to size the improvement opportunity.

    Design a Leaner Future State

    Apply the eight future-state questions to introduce continuous flow, pull systems, supermarkets and a single pacemaker process, then draw a compelling future-state map.

    Build an Implementation and Kaizen Plan

    Turn the future-state map into a roadmap of Kaizen events, metrics and standard work, so the improvements are delivered and then sustained rather than reverting.
