    What Is Value Stream Mapping?Your Route to Leaner, Faster Operations

    Value Stream Mapping Training in Ukraine is a practical, one-day Lean course that teaches you how to visualise, analyse and improve the end-to-end flow of materials and information that delivers a product or service to the customer. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean management technique developed within the Toyota Production System and popularised by Mike Rother and John Shook in their 1998 workbook Learning to See. Delivered by Invensis Learning in live virtual, classroom and corporate formats across Ukraine, the eight-hour programme covers Lean foundations, standard VSM symbols, current-state mapping, waste analysis, future-state design and implementation planning. You practise mapping a realistic operational scenario throughout the day. This training suits operations and manufacturing managers, industrial and process engineers, Lean practitioners and supply chain professionals. There is no examination; you leave with a course completion record and a skill you can apply to your own value stream immediately. Start your VSM journey with Invensis Learning.

    The Skills You Will BuildPractical Mapping, Analysis and Planning

    In this Value Stream Mapping course you will learn to build current-state and future-state maps, identify the eight Lean wastes, and turn analysis into a practical improvement plan. Each session pairs concepts with hands-on mapping of a realistic operational scenario, so you leave able to apply the method at work.

    Lean Foundations and the Eight Wastes

    Understand the five Lean principles, value-added versus non-value-added work, and the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) so you can define value from the customer's perspective and know exactly what a value stream map is looking for.

    Reading and Using Standard VSM Symbols

    Apply the standard set of process, material-flow, information-flow and inventory symbols, plus data boxes and the Kaizen burst, so your maps are clear, consistent and readable by any cross-functional team.

    Building an Accurate Current-State Map

    Select a product family, walk the value stream in a Gemba walk, and capture cycle time, changeover, uptime, inventory and lead time by direct observation to build a map that reflects how work really flows.

    Analysing Flow, Bottlenecks and Takt

    Calculate takt time, find the true constraint, and read the map to expose waiting, overproduction, excess inventory and push flow so you can prioritise the highest-impact improvement opportunities.

    Designing a Leaner Future State

    Use the eight future-state questions to design continuous flow, pull systems and supermarkets, level the schedule, and quantify the lead-time and inventory gains between current and future state.

    Planning and Sustaining Improvement

    Translate the future-state map into an implementation roadmap and Kaizen plan, set baseline metrics, and standardise new ways of working so improvements hold and the next VSM cycle builds on them.

It draws on the Toyota Production System and the workbook Learning to See by Rother and Shook.

    Is Value Stream Mapping worth learning in Ukraine?

    Yes. As Ukraine's manufacturers, food producers, logistics firms and IT services modernise under reconstruction and EU-alignment pressure, professionals who can map flow and cut waste are valued in operations, quality, engineering and supply chain roles. VSM is a practical, immediately usable skill.

    Who should attend this VSM course?

    The course suits operations and manufacturing managers, industrial and process engineers, Lean practitioners, Six Sigma practitioners, supply chain professionals, and anyone responsible for identifying and removing waste in end-to-end process flows.

    Do I need Lean experience before I start?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. Some familiarity with Lean principles is helpful but not required, as the course introduces all the relevant Lean concepts in the context of value stream mapping.

    Which industries use Value Stream Mapping?

    VSM is applied in manufacturing, automotive, metallurgy, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, logistics, healthcare, financial services and IT. Any environment with an end-to-end process flow can use it to visualise work and reduce waste.

    Pricing

    How much does Value Stream Mapping training cost in Ukraine?

    Fees vary by delivery format (live virtual, classroom or corporate onsite) and group size, so current pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a quote tailored to individual or team training.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six VSM modules, hands-on mapping exercises, course materials, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning, along with post-training support. Request a quote to confirm inclusions for your chosen format.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. Value Stream Mapping training is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on mapping exercises and group discussion during the one-day programme.

    Is a certification or credential awarded?

    No formal certification or credential is awarded by an external body, as the technique has no governing body. Participants receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning that confirms they completed the training.

    How is learning assessed during the training?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise creating current-state and future-state maps for a realistic scenario and take part in group activities throughout the day, so you apply each concept as you learn it.

    What will I be able to do after the training?

    You will be able to select a product family, conduct a Gemba walk, draw a current-state map with standard symbols, identify waste and the bottleneck, design a future-state map, and build an implementation and Kaizen plan to reach it.

    How long is the training?

    The programme runs for one day (8 hours) and can also be delivered as two half-day sessions. It covers Lean foundations, VSM symbols, current-state mapping, analysis, future-state design and implementation planning.

    Course Content

    What topics does the VSM course cover?

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

    Are there hands-on mapping exercises?

    Yes. You create both a current-state and a future-state map for a realistic operational scenario during the programme, so you practise the full method rather than only hearing about it.

    What Lean concepts will I learn in value stream mapping?

    You learn the five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), value-added versus non-value-added work, takt time, cycle time, lead time, and push versus pull flow, all applied through the lens of the value stream map.

    Does the course use the standard VSM symbols?

    Yes. The training uses the standard set of process, material-flow, information-flow and inventory symbols, data boxes and the Kaizen burst, so your maps are consistent and readable across teams and organisations.

    How does VSM fit with Six Sigma and Kaizen?

    VSM is a core Lean tool used in the Define and Measure phases of Six Sigma DMAIC and to scope Kaizen events. The course shows how mapping outputs feed into Kaizen planning and wider operational-excellence programmes.
