Value Stream Mapping Course Overview

Value Stream Mapping is a lean manufacturing technique used to evaluate, plan, and control the information and material flow needed to deliver a product to a customer. It is enormously beneficial for organisations to improve business outcomes through lean production processes. This training helps learners be better able to recognise areas for improvement, pinpoint them, and then develop a practical plan for optimisation.

This 1-day Value Stream Mapping Training course focuses on teaching delegates how to create value for customers while eliminating waste. During this training, delegates will be able to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure that the improvements are sustained over time. They will also learn about how to develop an implementation plan to achieve the future state map. Our highly skilled and professional trainers with years of teaching experience will deliver this training and try their best to make delegates understand things easily.

Course Objectives

  • To learn how to identify and analyse waste and inefficiencies in a process
  • To sustain improvements over time through ongoing monitoring and adjustment
  • To understand the importance of visual management in Lean and VSM
  • To identify and prioritise improvement opportunities based on impact and feasibility
  • To create a future state map that eliminates waste and increases efficiency
  • To develop an implementation plan to achieve the future state map
