What Is Value Stream Mapping and Why It MattersA Practical Lean Skill for Irish Operations

Value Stream Mapping training in Ireland equips you to see, analyse and improve the end-to-end flow of work across your operations. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean technique for visualising how materials and information move to deliver a product or service to the customer, so you can pinpoint waste, bottlenecks and delay. Developed within the Toyota Production System and popularised by Mike Rother and John Shook in Learning to See (1998), VSM remains the starting point for almost every Lean improvement programme.

This one-day, non-certification course suits Lean practitioners, operations and manufacturing managers, engineers and process improvement professionals across Ireland's manufacturing, MedTech, pharma and services sectors. You learn to build current-state and future-state maps, calculate takt time and lead time, and turn a map into a costed improvement plan.

Delivered in live virtual and classroom formats, the training pairs concepts with hands-on mapping exercises, so you leave able to run a value stream mapping workshop for your own team. Start building practical Lean capability with Invensis Learning.

What You Gain from Building VSM CapabilityLean Skills You Apply Immediately

For Individuals

Value Stream Mapping training builds a practical, immediately usable Lean skill: the ability to map how value flows through your operation and redesign it for less waste and faster delivery. It suits Lean practitioners, operations and manufacturing managers, engineers and process improvement professionals who want to lead improvement, not just take part in it. Whether you work in MedTech, pharma, food, logistics or shared services, VSM gives you a shared visual language to diagnose problems and align teams around a future state worth building.

If you want to move from firefighting daily issues to systematically improving flow, VSM is the tool that gets you there. You leave able to walk a value stream, capture the data, build the map and turn it into an improvement plan your organisation can act on.

Learn to make waste, delay and bottlenecks visible across an entire value stream
Build the capability to lead current-state and future-state mapping workshops
Apply Lean thinking to cut lead time and free up working capital in your operation
Turn a value stream map into a costed, sequenced improvement roadmap
Strengthen your profile for continuous improvement and operational excellence roles
Gain a skill valued across Ireland's MedTech, pharma, manufacturing and services employers
Practise on realistic scenarios so you can facilitate a mapping session immediately
Receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning

For Organizations

Value Stream Mapping group training helps organisations build a common approach to seeing and improving flow. When a cross-functional team maps a real value stream together, they surface waste and misalignment that no single department could see alone. Delivered onsite or live virtual for operations teams, PMOs and improvement functions, the programme turns Lean theory into a working improvement plan for your business.

For Irish manufacturers and service organisations under pressure to improve productivity and capital efficiency, VSM creates a shared language for prioritisation and value delivery. Teams leave with a current-state map, a future-state design and a roadmap they can start executing.

Give cross-functional teams a shared method for diagnosing and improving process flow
Reduce lead time, inventory and waste across manufacturing and service operations
Align operations, quality, engineering and logistics around one future-state vision
Build internal VSM facilitation capability to sustain continuous improvement
Standardise how improvement opportunities are identified and prioritised
Support Lean, Six Sigma and operational excellence programmes with a core diagnostic tool
Train onsite or live virtual by mapping your own real value stream during the session

The Pressures Driving Demand for Lean Flow Skills

Productivity Pressure in Manufacturing

Irish manufacturers face constant pressure to raise output without adding cost. Value stream mapping exposes the waste and delay that erode productivity, making people who can map flow highly valued.

VSM builds waste-elimination skills

Lead Time in MedTech and Pharma

With 80,500+ employed across 213 pharma and medical device sites, long lead times and excess inventory tie up capital. VSM gives improvement teams a proven way to shorten flow and free cash.

VSM builds lead-time reduction skills

Scaling a Growing Workforce

Biopharma is forecast to add 21,000 jobs by 2027 and MedTech to reach 56,000 by 2028. Rapid scaling demands standardised, efficient processes that value stream mapping helps design and sustain.

VSM builds process-design skills

Skills Gap in Continuous Improvement

Employers and Skillnet networks name Lean Six Sigma a priority upskilling area. Demand for people who can facilitate mapping and lead improvement outstrips the supply of trained practitioners.

VSM makes trained facilitators stand out

Capital Efficiency and Cost Discipline

Multinationals under margin pressure push sites to optimise the mix of work, cutting low-value activity. VSM is the diagnostic that shows exactly where capital and effort are wasted.

VSM builds portfolio optimisation skills

Waste in Services and Shared Operations

Financial and shared-services centres in Ireland run high-volume back-office processes. Value stream mapping reveals hidden delay and rework in administrative flows, not just on the factory floor.

VSM builds administrative-flow skills

The VSM Capabilities You Will BuildMap, Analyse and Redesign Any Value Stream

In this course you will learn to build current-state and future-state value stream maps, identify waste, and turn your analysis into an improvement plan. The skills map directly to the six modules of the training, from Lean foundations to sustaining improvement.

Read Value Through the Customer's Eyes

Distinguish value-added, non-value-added and necessary non-value-added activity, apply the five Lean principles, and recognise the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) that value stream mapping is built to reveal.

Use Standard VSM Symbols and Data Boxes

Apply the standard symbol set for process, material and information flow, and capture cycle time, changeover, uptime and inventory in data boxes so any team can read your map.

Build an Accurate Current-State Map

Select a product family, walk the value stream on a Gemba walk, and map from customer to supplier, recording inventory and completing the timeline for lead time and value-added time.

Analyse Flow to Find the Real Constraint

Identify the bottleneck, calculate takt time, analyse push versus pull, and prioritise the highest-impact improvement opportunities with Kaizen bursts placed on the map.

Design a Lean Future-State Map

Apply the eight future-state design questions to create continuous flow, pull systems and a single pacemaker process, then quantify the improvement against the current state.

Turn the Map into an Improvement Plan

Translate the future state into a sequenced Kaizen roadmap, set baseline metrics, and use standard work to sustain the gains as a continuous improvement discipline.

No. Value Stream Mapping training is a non-certification course with no formal assessment. Learning is reinforced through hands-on current-state and future-state mapping exercises and group discussion throughout the day.

What do I receive on completing the training?

You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. The programme is designed to build practical VSM skills you can apply immediately, rather than to award a formal credential.

How is my learning evaluated during the training?

There is no formal grading. You practise on realistic scenarios, building both a current-state and a future-state map, so your progress shows through the mapping work you complete during the session.

Will I be able to run a mapping workshop afterwards?

Yes. The course is built around doing, not just watching. By the end you will have facilitated the core steps yourself, so you can lead a value stream mapping session for your own team.

Does the skill expire or need renewing?

No. Value Stream Mapping is a practical skill that does not expire and needs no renewal. Once learned, you can apply it to improvement projects across your organisation for as long as you like.
