What Is Value Stream Mapping and Why It Matters in LatviaA Lean Skill for Leaner Operations

Value Stream Mapping Training in Latvia is a practical, one-day skills programme that teaches you to see the whole flow of value across your operations and remove the waste hidden inside it. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean technique, rooted in the Toyota Production System, for visualising the end-to-end flow of materials and information needed to deliver a product or service to the customer.

You learn to build current-state and future-state value stream maps, calculate takt time and lead time, tell value-adding from non-value-adding activity, and turn a future-state vision into a costed improvement plan. It suits operations and manufacturing managers, Lean practitioners, engineers and supply chain professionals across Latvia's wood, metalworking, food and engineering sectors.

As Latvian manufacturers face wage growth outpacing productivity and persistent skills shortages, the ability to map and streamline value streams is a direct route to better throughput and lower cost. Build the skill with Invensis Learning and start applying it the day you return to work.

Market Pressures Driving Demand for Lean Skills in Latvia

Productivity Growth Has Stalled

Latvian labour productivity has risen only about 0.2% a year since 2022, so employers need people who can find and remove waste in existing operations, not just add resources.

VSM builds waste-elimination skills

Wages Are Outpacing Output

Nominal wages are growing around 6% while productivity lags, squeezing margins and making value stream optimisation a priority for manufacturers and service firms alike.

VSM builds value stream optimisation skills

Skills and Labour Shortages

As older workers retire and too few enter manufacturing, firms must do more with fewer people, raising demand for those who can streamline flow and eliminate rework.

VSM builds flow and efficiency skills

Export Competitiveness Under Pressure

With exports forecast to grow modestly and energy costs volatile, Latvian industrial firms depend on leaner processes to stay price-competitive in European markets.

VSM builds cost and throughput skills

Fragmented Process Visibility

Many operations lack a single, shared view of end-to-end flow, so bottlenecks and excess inventory go unseen. Value stream mapping makes the whole flow visible and actionable.

VSM makes the whole flow visible

Improvement Without a Common Method

Teams often improve in silos with no shared language. VSM gives cross-functional groups one way to diagnose waste and plan Kaizen events together.

VSM gives teams one shared method

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) training is a practical, one-day skills course that teaches you to map the end-to-end flow of materials and information, identify waste, and design a leaner future state. It is a non-certification Lean course focused on hands-on capability you can apply straight away.

General

What is Value Stream Mapping training?

Who should attend this course in Latvia?

It suits operations and manufacturing managers, Lean practitioners, industrial and process engineers, quality and supply chain professionals, and anyone responsible for improving process flow. It is widely relevant across Latvia's wood, metalworking, food, pharmaceutical and logistics sectors.

Is Value Stream Mapping training worth it?

Yes. VSM is one of the most direct Lean skills for cutting lead time and cost. As Latvian firms face wage growth outpacing productivity, professionals who can map and streamline value streams are increasingly valued, and the skill applies from day one with no exam to sit.

Do I need prior Lean experience?

No. There are no formal prerequisites. Some familiarity with Lean ideas such as waste and flow is helpful but not required, because the course introduces every relevant concept in the context of value stream mapping.

Where does Value Stream Mapping come from?

VSM is rooted in the Toyota Production System and was popularised for Lean practitioners by Mike Rother and John Shook in their 1998 workbook Learning to See. It is an established, stable Lean technique used across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and services.

Pricing

How much does Value Stream Mapping training cost in Latvia?

Pricing varies by delivery mode (live virtual, classroom or corporate), group size and schedule, so course fees are available on request. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share current pricing for your preferred format in Latvia.

What is included in the course fee?

The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six VSM modules, practical courseware, VSM templates, worked examples, hands-on mapping exercises, learner support, and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Ask a learning advisor for full details.

Are there discounts for group or corporate training?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams, departments and sites. It is often the best value because your team maps a real value stream from your own operation. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Is there a separate exam fee?

No. Value Stream Mapping is a non-certification course with no examination, so there is no separate exam fee. You pay only the training fee, which is available on request.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you or your organisation.

Assessment

Is there an exam for this course?

No. Value Stream Mapping training is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on current-state and future-state mapping exercises and group discussion during the programme.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes. There is no formal credential from an awarding body, but you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after finishing the one-day programme. The skills you build are immediately applicable at work.

How am I assessed during the training?

There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise throughout the day by building both a current-state and a future-state value stream map for a realistic scenario, with trainer guidance and feedback.

Will I be able to map a real process afterwards?

Yes. By the end you can select a product family, run a Gemba walk to gather data, draw a current-state map, analyse waste and bottlenecks, design a future-state map, and build an implementation and Kaizen plan.

Is this course accredited by a governing body?

No. Value Stream Mapping is a vendor-neutral Lean technique with no single governing body. The training is grounded in the established VSM method and Lean thinking, and focuses on practical workplace skills rather than a formal credential.

Course Content

What topics does the training cover?

The course covers six modules: Lean foundations and the eight wastes, VSM standard symbols, creating the current-state map, analysing waste and bottlenecks, designing the future-state map, and implementation and Kaizen planning, all with hands-on exercises.

How long is the course?

It is delivered in one day (about 8 hours), and can also run as two half-days. The programme covers the full VSM method from Lean foundations through to a costed improvement plan, with mapping exercises throughout.

Are there hands-on exercises?

Yes. You create both a current-state and a future-state value stream map for a realistic operational scenario during the programme, so you practise the full method rather than only learning the theory.

What materials are provided?

You receive practical courseware, the standard VSM symbol set, reusable mapping templates, worked examples and reference guides that support you when you apply value stream mapping in your own workplace.

Can beginners take this course?

Yes. The course is beginner-friendly and has no prerequisites. It introduces all the Lean concepts you need, so professionals new to VSM and experienced practitioners both gain practical, applicable skills.

Enrollment

How do I enrol in Value Stream Mapping training?
