    What Is Value Stream Mapping and Why Learn ItA Practical Lean Skill for Mozambique

    Value Stream Mapping Training in Mozambique equips professionals with a proven Lean technique for visualising the end-to-end flow of materials and information needed to bring a product or service from concept to customer. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) began within the Toyota Production System and was popularised for Lean practitioners by Mike Rother and John Shook in their 1998 guide Learning to See. This one-day, non-certification programme teaches you to build current-state and future-state maps, spot the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME), calculate flow metrics such as takt time and lead time, and turn insight into an actionable improvement plan. There is no exam; learning is reinforced through hands-on mapping exercises, and you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. With Mozambique scaling up aluminium, LNG, mining, logistics and agro-processing, employers increasingly value people who can improve flow and remove waste. Whether you work in manufacturing, ports and rail, or service operations, this training gives you a practical skill you can apply from day one. Start your VSM journey with Invensis Learning.

    The Mapping Skills You Will BuildSix Practical Mapping Capabilities

    In this training you will learn to map, analyse and redesign value streams using the standard Lean VSM method. By the end of the one-day programme you can create current-state and future-state maps, quantify waste, and plan the improvements to close the gap.

    Map the Current State

    You will learn to walk the value stream on a Gemba walk and build an accurate current-state map from customer to supplier, capturing process data, inventory and the timeline as operations actually run today.

    Apply Standard VSM Symbols

    Use the standard VSM symbol set for process boxes, material and information flow, inventory triangles, kanban, data boxes and Kaizen bursts so your maps read clearly across teams and functions.

    Expose the Eight Wastes

    Systematically read the map to find the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME), locate the bottleneck, and separate value-adding, non-value-adding and necessary activity.

    Calculate Flow Metrics

    Work out takt time, cycle time, changeover time and total lead time, and use the value-added ratio as a powerful indicator of where waste is hiding in the flow.

    Design the Future State

    Apply the eight future-state design questions to introduce continuous flow, pull systems and levelled scheduling, then draw a leaner future-state map for your operation.

    Build an Implementation Plan

    Turn the future-state map into a prioritised Kaizen roadmap with owners, metrics and review points, and learn how to sustain the gains through standard work.

    We accept major cards and bank transfers, and offer flexible options for corporate bookings. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the arrangement that suits you or your organisation.

    Assessment And Certification

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. Value Stream Mapping is a non-certification course with no exam. Learning is reinforced through hands-on mapping exercises and group discussion during the one-day programme, so you practise the skill rather than sit a test.

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. This confirms your participation and the practical VSM skills you have built; it is not a formal credential from an awarding body.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Throughout the day you apply what you learn through mapping exercises, creating current-state and future-state maps for a realistic scenario, with trainer feedback and group discussion to reinforce the method.

    Is this an accredited certification?

    No. Value Stream Mapping is a Lean technique with no single governing body or accreditation. This is practical skills training rather than a certification, and it builds capability you can apply immediately in your workplace.

    Will this help me progress to further Lean training?

    Yes. VSM is a strong foundation for further Lean and operational excellence learning such as Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt or Green Belt, Kaizen and 7 QC Tools, where value stream mapping is a core tool.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the Value Stream Mapping course?

    You will learn to select a product family, walk the value stream, build a current-state map with standard symbols, identify the eight wastes and the bottleneck, calculate flow metrics, design a future-state map, and develop a Kaizen implementation plan.

    How long is the training?

    The course runs for one day (eight hours), covering Lean foundations, VSM symbols, current-state mapping, analysis, future-state design and implementation planning, with hands-on mapping exercises throughout.

    Are there hands-on mapping exercises?

    Yes. You practise creating both a current-state and a future-state map for a realistic operational scenario during the programme, so you leave able to run a mapping session in your own workplace.

    What are current-state and future-state maps?

    A current-state map shows how your value stream actually operates today, exposing waste and bottlenecks. A future-state map is the leaner target you design toward, using flow, pull and levelling. The gap between them drives your improvement plan.

    What materials are provided?

    You receive structured course materials covering the VSM symbol set, worked examples and exercise templates for current-state and future-state mapping, plus a course completion record on finishing the programme.
