    • Understanding the purpose, origins, and core principles of Value Stream Mapping as a lean tool

    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

    • 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

    Skills You Will Build on This Course

    Practical Lean Mapping, Step by Step

    This programme turns Value Stream Mapping theory into hands-on capability. You practise on a realistic operational scenario and leave able to map, analyse and improve a value stream in your own workplace, from the first symbol to a costed improvement plan.

    Read and Apply Standard VSM Symbols

    Use the standard set of process, material-flow and information-flow symbols, data boxes and Kaizen bursts to build clear maps that any cross-functional team can read and understand.

    Draw an Accurate Current-State Map

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

    Expose the Eight Wastes of Lean

    Analyse the map to reveal overproduction, waiting, excess inventory, defects and other wastes, and pinpoint the bottleneck that limits the output of the whole value stream.

    Calculate the Flow Metrics That Matter

    Work out takt time, process lead time and the value-added ratio so you can measure how much of your process is genuinely adding value for the customer, and how much is waste.

    Design a Leaner Future-State Map

    Apply the eight future-state questions to introduce continuous flow, pull systems and levelling, and design a faster, leaner way of working that meets customer demand.

    Build an Improvement and Kaizen Plan

    Turn the future-state vision into a sequenced implementation roadmap and Kaizen events, with baseline metrics to track progress and standard work to sustain the gains.
