Value Stream Mapping
Training
Optimize Flow & Cut Waste
Our Value Stream Mapping (VSM) training enables your teams to visualize end-to-end processes, uncover bottlenecks, and eliminate inefficiencies. By aligning improvements to customer value, you achieve faster flow, reduced costs, and stronger business results.
What is Value Stream Mapping?
Definition & Purpose
Value Stream Mapping is a Lean tool that visually maps every step in your process—from order to delivery. It reveals waste, delays, and bottlenecks so you can see where improvements matter most.
Why Value Stream Mapping Matters
Waste Elimination & Efficiency Gains
By visualizing the whole process, you can eliminate waiting, inventory overstock, unnecessary motion, defects and other wastes.
Shorter Lead Times & Faster Delivery
Streamlined process flows reduce delays and cycle times so you can deliver value more quickly.
Better Collaboration & Process Clarity
Teams across functions align on how work flows, where problems are, and share a common vision for improvement.
Stronger Customer Satisfaction
Faster, smoother, consistent service improves customer experience and builds loyalty.

Our VSM Approach
Discovery & Current State Mapping
We start with data collection, stakeholder interviews, and mapping your existing value stream to uncover waste and inefficiencies.
Future State Design & Target Setting
We design a future process-flow that reduces waste, improves flow, and aligns with your business goals.
Implementation Roadmap & Metrics Tracking
We develop a plan to make the changes, set key metrics (lead time, % waste, flow efficiency), and monitor progress.
Sustaining Improvements & Continuous Improvement Culture
We help build structures (visuals, audits, standard work) so the improvements stick and continuous refinement becomes part of your operations.
