Introduction

Value Stream Mapping is the foundation tool of Lean transformation — and the most commonly misapplied. This masterclass takes delegates beyond the basic current-state map to develop expertise in future-state design, takt-based flow, pull system architecture, and value stream governance. The training course covers VSM for manufacturing, service, transactional, and digital processes, ensuring the skills transfer to any sector.

Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Create accurate current-state value stream maps using standard Lean symbols
  • Calculate takt time, cycle time, lead time, and process flow metrics
  • Identify the eight wastes through map analysis
  • Design future-state value streams aligned with customer demand
  • Build implementation plans and Kaizen burst priorities
  • Apply VSM to service, transactional, and digital value streams

Training Methodology

Delegates map real or representative end-to-end processes throughout the week, working in small teams under coach guidance. The week culminates in a future-state design exercise and presentation. Templates, symbol libraries, and Excel-based calculators are provided for ongoing use.

Organisational Impact

  • Clear visibility of how value flows (or stalls) across the organisation
  • Prioritised improvement roadmap grounded in customer value
  • Common visual language uniting operations, quality, and leadership
  • Foundation for systematic Lean transformation

Personal Impact

  • Expert capability in a foundational Lean skill
  • Confidence to facilitate VSM workshops with senior stakeholders
  • Practical toolkit transferable to any process-driven environment
