Improve end-to-end flow and performance by identifying and eliminating value stream inefficiencies
Value stream mapping gives teams a shared, visual picture of how work flows from customer demand to delivery – making waste, bottlenecks and disconnections visible in a way that process-level analysis cannot. It creates a common baseline for improvement, aligns stakeholders around a future-state vision and provides a structured framework for planning and prioritizing KAIZEN™ events. The result is more coordinated, impactful and sustainable improvement.
Yes. The training is delivered in-company and tailored to your organization’s processes, practices, and typical challenges. The program is aligned with your organization’s reality, priorities, and team structures, enabling teams to apply the concepts and methodologies directly to their work environment.
This training is designed for any team or group of professionals from the same organization who play a role in, or whose work relates to, its subject. The content is tailored to the group’s context and experience level, so the whole team builds a shared capability it can apply immediately.
Process mapping documents the steps and activities within a single process. Value stream mapping takes a wider view, capturing material flows, information flows, inventory levels, lead times and performance data across the entire value stream from supplier to customer.
The duration depends on the scope and complexity of the value stream being analyzed. A complete Value Stream Analysis cycle, including current-state mapping (VSM), future-state design (VSD), and the development of an implementation plan, typically requires around five intensive days with a cross-functional team. Additional time may be needed before and after the exercise for preparation, data collection, stakeholder alignment, and follow-up activities to support implementation.
No formal prerequisites are required. The training is adapted to the group’s knowledge and experience, from teams with limited background in the topic to more experienced professionals looking to strengthen their capabilities. Familiarity with the processes involved is beneficial but not essential, as the program progresses from foundational concepts to more advanced applications.
Yes. The in-company format is designed to train teams, not individuals. Typically, each group includes up to 12 participants to maximize interaction, practical application, and coaching effectiveness. However, programs can scale across multiple groups, departments, or sites using parallel cohorts or scaling methods adapted to large organizations.
