    Where These Skills Take You in Latvia

    Roles, Sectors and Local Demand

    Value Stream Mapping is a core Lean skill that Latvian employers in manufacturing, logistics and services increasingly look for as they push to lift productivity and protect export competitiveness. The ability to map, analyse and streamline value streams supports roles from continuous improvement specialist to operations and plant manager. Value Stream Mapping training helps professionals develop exactly these capabilities. Demand is strongest where wage growth is outpacing productivity and firms must do more with the same resources, and here is what the local market shows.

    Market Pressures Driving Demand for Lean Skills in Latvia

    Your Latvia Career Transformation

    From Firefighting Waste to Designing Leaner Flow

    The Shift VSM Training Delivers

    Latvia's manufacturers and service operations are under real pressure to lift productivity as wages climb and skilled workers grow scarce. Value stream mapping is one of the clearest ways to stand out as someone who can find and fix the waste. Here is the shift it makes.

    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

    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

    • 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

    • 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

    The VSM Skills You Will Build and Apply

    A Hands-On Lean Toolkit

    This training takes you through the full value stream mapping method, from Lean foundations to a costed improvement plan. By the end you can map a real process, expose its waste, and design a leaner future state you can act on.

    Lean Foundations and the Eight Wastes

    Understand the five Lean principles and the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), and tell value-adding, non-value-adding and necessary activity apart from the customer's point of view.

    Reading and Using VSM Symbols

    Apply the standard value stream mapping symbols for process, material and information flow, inventory, kanban and data boxes so any team can read your maps.

    Building the Current-State Map

    Select a product family, walk the value stream on a Gemba walk, and capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory to map how work really flows today.

    Analysing Waste and Bottlenecks

    Calculate takt time and lead time, find the constraint, spot push-versus-pull imbalances, and prioritise the highest-impact improvement opportunities on the map.

    Designing the Future-State Map

    Use the eight future-state questions to design for flow and pull, introduce supermarkets and levelling, and quantify the gain from current to future state.

    Implementation and Kaizen Planning

    Turn the future-state map into a sequenced improvement roadmap, plan Kaizen events, set metrics, and standardise new ways of working so gains stick.
