    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 programs

    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

    • Recognizing 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 organizational 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

    Skills You Will Build in This VSM CoursePractical Mapping, Analysis and Improvement

    What you will learn in the Value Stream Mapping training is a complete, practical mapping method. By the end of the one-day programme you can map a current state, analyse it, design a leaner future state and plan the improvement, using hands-on exercises throughout.

    Read a Value Stream End to End

    Learn what a value stream really is and how to see the full flow of materials and information from customer demand back to the supplier, beyond any single department.

    Draw an Accurate Current-State Map

    Use standard VSM symbols, a Gemba walk and real process data such as cycle time, changeover and inventory to map how your operation actually works today.

    Expose the Eight Wastes

    Systematically read the map for the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME) and pinpoint the bottleneck that limits your overall flow rate.

    Calculate Takt, Cycle and Lead Time

    Work out takt time against customer demand, compare it with cycle times, and use the value-added ratio to quantify how much waste sits in the flow.

    Design a Leaner Future-State Map

    Apply the future-state design questions to build continuous flow, introduce pull systems and supermarkets, and set a clear, measurable target state.

    Build a Practical Implementation Plan

    Translate the future-state map into a sequenced roadmap of Kaizen workstreams, metrics and owners so improvements actually get delivered and sustained.

    What Our Learners Say

    Cut a Day off Our Lead Time

    "The training made value stream mapping feel practical. Within a week I mapped our packaging line, found where inventory was piling up, and cut a full day off our lead time. The hands-on exercises were the best part."

    Mamadou Fall

    Process Engineer

    0/0

    Confident to Run My Own Workshops

    "I came in with no formal Lean background and left able to run a mapping workshop. The trainer explained takt time, the eight wastes and future-state design clearly, using examples close to our agro-processing work."

    Aminata Diop

    Continuous Improvement Coordinator

    0/0

    We Finally Agreed on the Bottleneck

    "Very practical one-day course. Drawing the current-state map of a real process helped the whole shift see the bottleneck we had argued about for months. The implementation plan gave us clear next steps."

    Ousmane Ndiaye

    Production Supervisor

    0/0

    A Shared Method for Our Whole Plant

    "We trained a cross-functional team and mapped one of our core lines during the session. It gave everyone a shared language for flow and waste, and we walked away with a prioritised improvement roadmap we are now executing."

    Fatou Sarr

    Operations Director, Agro-Processing

    0/0

    Tailored and Immediately Useful

    "The corporate delivery was tailored to our cement operations. Our supervisors now use value stream mapping to diagnose flow problems before escalating them. It has already improved how we plan improvement projects."
