    Where Lean Flow Skills Take You in the Netherlands

    Roles and Demand

    Value Stream Mapping is a core skill behind the Netherlands' reputation for operational excellence, valued across high-tech, manufacturing, food, chemicals and logistics. As Dutch employers face tight labour markets and rising costs, professionals who can eliminate waste and improve flow are in strong demand, from process engineers to operational excellence managers, which is exactly what Value Stream Mapping training builds. Here is what the market looks like now.

    Industry Pressures Fuelling Demand for VSM Skills

    VSM is more than a diagram. It is how leading Dutch operations turn waste into speed and cost into margin. Learn to map, analyse and improve your value streams. Start today.

    Your Netherlands Improvement Journey

    From Delivering Tasks to Leading Flow

    How VSM Changes Your Role

    The Netherlands competes on operational excellence, and employers increasingly separate professionals who can improve flow from those who only manage it. Here is the gap that VSM skills close.

    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

    Course Curriculum

    The VSM Skills You Will Build

    From Current State to Future State

    This hands-on programme takes you through the full Value Stream Mapping method, from Lean foundations and symbols to current-state mapping, analysis, future-state design and implementation planning, with practical mapping exercises throughout the day.

    Read and Apply Standard VSM Symbols

    You will learn to build value stream maps using the standard VSM symbol set, from process boxes and data boxes to material and information flow arrows, inventory triangles, kanban symbols and the Kaizen burst, so your maps are clear and consistent across teams.

    Map the Current State from the Gemba

    Walk the value stream from customer to supplier, capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory by direct observation, and record an honest current-state map that shows how the flow really works today.

    Spot the Eight Wastes and the Bottleneck

    Analyse a map to find overproduction, waiting, excess inventory and the other wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME), calculate takt time, and identify the constraint that limits overall flow so you target the highest-impact improvements.

    Design a Leaner Future State

    Apply the eight future-state questions to design continuous flow, pull systems and supermarkets, redesign information flow, and quantify the lead-time and inventory gains your future state will deliver.

    Turn Maps into Improvement Plans

    Translate a future-state map into a prioritised implementation roadmap and Kaizen event schedule with clear owners, metrics and milestones, so mapping leads to real, sequenced change.

    Sustain Improvement with Standard Work

    Embed gains with standard work and daily management, track lead time and inventory against your baseline, and schedule the next VSM cycle to keep improving over time.
