    The VSM Skills You Will Walk Away WithMapping, Analysis and Improvement

    Here is what you will learn in Value Stream Mapping training: how to map, analyse and redesign the flow of value across your operations. By the end of the programme you can build current-state and future-state maps and a practical plan to close the gap.

    Map the Full Value Stream

    Draw a current-state map from customer to supplier using standard VSM symbols, capturing material and information flow, cycle time, changeover time and inventory.

    Distinguish Value from Waste

    Separate value-adding, non-value-adding and necessary non-value-adding activity, and identify the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME) across the flow.

    Find the Bottleneck and Takt

    Calculate takt time, compare it with cycle times, and locate the constraint that limits output so you target the highest-impact improvements first.

    Design a Leaner Future State

    Apply the eight future-state design questions to introduce continuous flow, pull systems and levelling, then draw the future-state map your team works towards.

    Build the Implementation Plan

    Turn the future-state map into prioritised workstreams and Kaizen events, with metrics, ownership and a realistic roadmap for delivery.

    Sustain and Repeat Improvement

    Standardise new ways of working, track lead-time and inventory gains, and embed VSM as a repeatable continuous improvement discipline.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Value Stream Mapping training?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on mapping exercises and group discussion during the one-day programme, so you practise creating real maps rather than sitting a test.

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after completing the one-day programme. It recognises your participation and the practical VSM skills you have built.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply what you learn through guided exercises, creating both a current-state and a future-state map for a realistic operational scenario, with trainer feedback throughout the day.

    Will I be able to run a mapping session afterwards?

    Yes. The training is designed so you can facilitate a value stream mapping workshop for your own team, gather current-state data, draw the map, identify waste and build an implementation plan back at work.

    Does the skill expire or need renewal?

    No. VSM is a practical skill with no renewal requirement. Once learned, it is immediately applicable and does not expire, so you can keep using and refining it across improvement projects.

    Course Content

    What topics does the training cover?

    The programme covers six modules: Lean foundations and VSM concepts, standard VSM symbols, creating the current-state map, analysing it for waste and bottlenecks, designing the future-state map, and implementation planning to sustain improvement.

    Will I practise creating a value stream map?

    Yes. Hands-on mapping runs throughout the day. You create both current-state and future-state maps for a realistic operational scenario, using standard symbols, data boxes and a value-added timeline.

    What is the difference between current-state and future-state maps?

    A current-state map shows how your value stream actually operates today, including waste and delays. A future-state map is the leaner target you design, applying flow, pull and levelling to reduce lead time and waste.

    How long is the training and what format is it?

    The course runs for one day (8 hours) and is available in classroom, live virtual (online) and corporate onsite formats. It combines concept explanation, symbol training, worked examples and practical mapping exercises.

    Does VSM connect to Lean Six Sigma or Kaizen?

    Yes. VSM is a core Lean tool used in the Define and Measure phases of Six Sigma DMAIC and to plan Kaizen events. The training is a strong complement to Lean Six Sigma and Kaizen programmes.
