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 GLOMACS Value Stream Mapping (VSM) training course covers VSM for manufacturing, service, transactional, and digital processes, ensuring the skills transfer to any sector.

Objectives

By the end of this Value Stream Mapping (VSM) 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
