    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

    • 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

    • 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

    • 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

    The Value Stream Mapping Skills You Will Build

    Practical Mapping, Analysis and Planning

    In this Value Stream Mapping course you will learn to map, analyse and improve how work flows across your operations. The programme builds the full skill set, from Lean foundations and VSM symbols to current-state mapping, waste analysis, future-state design and implementation planning, reinforced with hands-on exercises throughout the day.

    Read and Map Any Value Stream

    Understand what a value stream is, when to use VSM, and how to see the full flow of materials and information from the customer back to the supplier.

    Apply Standard VSM Symbols

    Use the standard set of process, material and information-flow symbols, data boxes and Kaizen bursts so any team can read and trust your maps.

    Build an Accurate Current-State Map

    Select a product family, walk the value stream on a Gemba walk, capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory, and complete the timeline.

    Analyse Waste and Bottlenecks

    Spot the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME), find the constraint against takt time, and separate push from pull to target the biggest opportunities.

    Design a Leaner Future State

    Work through the eight future-state questions to design flow, pull systems and levelled scheduling, then quantify the gain over the current state.

    Plan and Sustain Improvement

    Turn the future-state map into an implementation roadmap and Kaizen plan, set metrics from the baseline, and standardise work so the gains hold.
