    What Value Stream Mapping Is and How It Drives Lean ImprovementA Practical Skill You Use from Day One

    Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean technique for drawing the end-to-end flow of materials and information needed to take a product or service from concept to customer, so teams can see waste and improve it. This Value Stream Mapping training in Lithuania gives operations and improvement professionals a proven way to visualise, analyse and redesign that flow in a single working day. The method comes from the Toyota Production System and was set out for Lean practitioners by Mike Rother and John Shook in Learning to See (1998). Across one intensive day you learn to draw current-state and future-state maps, distinguish value-adding from non-value-adding work, expose the eight wastes of Lean, calculate takt time and mark Kaizen bursts where improvement will pay off most. The programme suits operations and manufacturing managers, engineers, supply chain and process improvement professionals working in Lithuania's manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and service sectors. Delivered in live virtual, classroom and corporate onsite formats, it is hands-on throughout, so you leave ready to facilitate a mapping session for your own team.

    "Learning to design a future-state map changed how I think about improvement. We used it to cut lead time on a packaging process, and the takt time and pull ideas made an immediate difference."

    Egle Petraityte

    Operations Team Lead

    0/0

    Clear, Well Paced and Beginner Friendly

    "The trainer explained the VSM symbols and the Gemba walk clearly, with real examples. As someone new to Lean, I left able to map a value stream and spot the bottleneck with confidence."

    Marius Jankauskas

    Continuous Improvement Specialist

    0/0

    A Shared Language for Our Whole Team

    "We ran the training onsite for a cross-functional group and mapped one of our own value streams during the day. The team now shares a common language for waste and flow, which has made our Kaizen work far more focused."

    Ruta Vasiliauskiene

    Learning and Development Manager, Automotive Electronics Manufacturer

    0/0

    From Opinion to Evidence-Led Improvement

    "Our operations leaders came away able to scope improvement events from a clear map rather than opinion. The onsite delivery and real-world exercises fitted our logistics processes perfectly and the impact was quick."

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Value stream mapping is a Lean technique for visualising the end-to-end flow of materials and information that delivers a product or service, so teams can see waste and improve it. The training is for operations and manufacturing managers, engineers, supply chain and process improvement professionals in Lithuania.

    General

    What is value stream mapping and who is this training for?

    Value stream mapping is a Lean technique for visualising the end-to-end flow of materials and information that delivers a product or service, so teams can see waste and improve it. The training is for operations and manufacturing managers, engineers, supply chain and process improvement professionals in Lithuania.

    Is value stream mapping worth learning in Lithuania?

    Yes. Lithuanian manufacturers, automotive and electronics plants, logistics firms and service centres are under pressure to cut waste and lead time, and people who can map and redesign flow are in short supply. The skill is practical and applies to your work straight away.

    Do I need any prior Lean knowledge to attend?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. Some familiarity with Lean ideas such as waste and flow is helpful but not required, as the course introduces every concept it uses in the context of mapping.

    How long is the value stream mapping course?

    The programme runs for one day (8 hours) and covers six modules: Lean foundations, VSM symbols, current-state mapping, analysis, future-state design and implementation planning, with hands-on mapping exercises throughout.

    Where does value stream mapping come from?

    Value stream mapping is rooted in the Toyota Production System and was set out for Lean practitioners by Mike Rother and John Shook in Learning to See (1998). It remains a stable, widely used Lean method across manufacturing and services.

    Pricing

    How much does value stream mapping training cost in Lithuania?

    Fees depend on the delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Live virtual, classroom and corporate onsite options are quoted separately. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share the current price for your chosen format.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six modules, hands-on mapping exercises, reusable VSM templates and worked examples, learner support, and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Ask us for the full inclusions for your format.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with schedules built around your team, and pricing scales with group size. It is delivered onsite or live virtual so your people can map a real value stream from your business. Contact us for a tailored quote.

    Are there discounts for training several employees together?

    Yes. Volume-based pricing is available when you enrol a team or department together, which is also the most effective way to run the training. Talk to a learning advisor about group options for your organisation.

    In what currency is the training priced?

    For learners and organisations in Lithuania, training is quoted in euros (EUR). Exact fees vary by format and group size and are available on request.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam at the end of the training?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no exam. Your learning is reinforced through hands-on current-state and future-state mapping exercises and group discussion during the day.

    What will I receive after completing the course?

    On completing the one-day programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning, recognising that you have finished the training. No external credential is awarded, as value stream mapping is a Lean technique rather than a certified scheme.

    How is my progress assessed during the day?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise by building a current-state map and a future-state map for a realistic operational scenario, supported by group activities, so you leave able to apply the method yourself.

    Will I be able to run a value stream map at work afterwards?

    Yes. By the end of the day you can select a product family, run a Gemba walk to gather data, draw a current-state map, design a future-state map and build an implementation and Kaizen plan for your own operation.

    Who should attend the value stream mapping training?

    It suits Lean practitioners, operations and manufacturing managers, industrial and process engineers, Six Sigma Green and Black Belts, supply chain managers and healthcare improvement professionals, and anyone responsible for reducing waste in end-to-end flows.

    Course Content

    What topics does the value stream mapping training cover?

    The course covers six modules: introduction to VSM and Lean foundations, VSM standard symbols, creating the current-state map, analysing the current-state map, designing the future-state map, and implementation planning and sustaining improvement.

    What Lean concepts will I learn?

    You learn the five Lean principles, the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME), value-added versus non-value-added work, takt time, cycle time and lead time, push versus pull, supermarkets and Kaizen bursts, all applied through mapping.

    Are there practical mapping exercises?

    Yes. The day is hands-on throughout. You build both a current-state and a future-state map for a realistic scenario, which is the best way to make the symbols, data boxes and analysis stick.

    What VSM symbols does the course teach?

    You learn the standard symbol set: process and data boxes, push and pull arrows, material and information flow, inventory triangles, kanban symbols, supermarkets and the Kaizen burst, so your maps are consistent and easy for teams to read.

    Is the training suitable for non-manufacturing sectors?

    Yes. Value stream mapping applies well beyond the shop floor. It is used in healthcare, logistics, financial services, IT and business services to visualise and improve process flows, and the course draws on examples across these settings.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    Choose your preferred format, then enrol through the Invensis Learning website to receive schedule access and learning resources. New sessions run regularly. Talk to a learning advisor to find the next available date that suits you.

    What delivery formats are available?

    The training is offered online (live virtual) instructor-led, in a classroom, and as corporate onsite delivery for teams. You can pick the format that best fits your schedule and how your team prefers to learn.

    Can the training be delivered onsite for our team in Lithuania?

    Yes. Corporate onsite delivery is available across Lithuania and is especially effective, because your team can map a real value stream from your own operation during the session. Contact us to arrange a date and scope.

    Can I reschedule my booking to another session?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or transfer to another session where needed. Reach out to our support team and they will help you move to a date that works.

    What support do I get before and after the training?

    You get learner support before, during and after the programme, including access to courseware, worked examples and reusable templates, so you can keep applying value stream mapping to your own projects. See upcoming schedules or speak with an advisor.
