    Where Value Stream Skills Take You in Portugal

    Roles, Sectors and Pay

    Value Stream Mapping is one of the most portable Lean skills in Portugal's industrial economy, where export-focused factories and growing service operations compete on flow and cost. Professionals who can map and improve value streams move into continuous improvement, process engineering, operations and supply chain roles across automotive, electronics, food, pharma and logistics. Value Stream Mapping training builds exactly this capability. Here is what the market is signalling right now.

    Why Portuguese Operations Need Value Stream Thinking Now

    VSM is the tool that turns operational pressure into a clear improvement plan. Join professionals across Portugal learning to see waste and design leaner flow. Start today.

    Your Operations Career Before and After VSM

    The Shift Value Stream Skills Deliver

    Portugal's manufacturers and service operations increasingly separate teams that can see and improve flow from those that cannot. Here is which side of that line Value Stream Mapping puts you on.

    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

    of the Value Stream Mapping Training

    What You Will Be Able to Do

    A Practical VSM Toolkit

    In this Value Stream Mapping training you will learn to walk a process, capture real data, and build current-state and future-state maps that turn waste into a clear improvement plan. Each skill below maps to a module of the one-day programme.

    Map the Value Stream End to End

    Define a product family and walk the value stream from customer to supplier, capturing how materials and information really flow rather than how they are supposed to, using a Gemba walk to gather honest data.

    Use the Standard VSM Symbol Set

    Apply the standard VSM notation, from process and data boxes to push and pull arrows, inventory triangles, kanban symbols and Kaizen bursts, so your maps read clearly to any cross-functional team.

    Build an Accurate Current-State Map

    Record cycle time, changeover time, uptime, batch size and inventory, then complete the timeline to calculate total lead time and the value-added ratio that reveals hidden waste.

    Analyse Flow to Find the Waste

    Systematically identify the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), locate the bottleneck against takt time, and see where push systems create overproduction and excess inventory.

    Design a Leaner Future State

    Use the eight future-state questions to design continuous flow, pull systems and levelled scheduling, then quantify the improvement in lead time, inventory and cycle time.

    Turn the Map into an Action Plan

    Translate the future-state map into a prioritised implementation roadmap and Kaizen event schedule, set baseline metrics, and standardise gains so improvements are sustained.
