Instructor Led Online Value Stream Mapping

Master Course Series

Once you have decided to become a Lean Organization, you will need an action plan. Value Stream Mapping is the tool of choice to help you decide where, and in what order, changes need to be implemented. Value Stream Mapping is a simple yet effective way of visually depicting the current situation and then the desired outcome with an improved flow of the operation. These before and after maps depict both physical movement and information flow required to make things happen. Value Stream Mapping works by showing the actual state of the business rather than the theoretical one. This hands-on Online Instructor-led four half-day session course will show you in detail how to develop both a current state and future state Value Stream Maps (VSM).   

The training is custom-built to help managers:

  • Show the methodology of Value Stream Mapping
  • Demonstrate the nomenclature and standards
  • Describe how to segment the business activities to map
  • Show how to develop product/service families
  • Give instruction on data gathering
  • Show how to develop a Current State map
  • Show how to develop a Future State map 


Upon completion, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize the different symbols used for VSM 
  • Develop current state maps
  • Categorize operations and make product metrics
  • Develop Future State Maps
  • Identify the different major elemental parts of a VSM
