Workshop Description
Lean Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a lean management technique used to analyze the flow of materials and information currently required to bring a product or service to a Customer.
The goal of Lean Value Stream Mapping is to reduce the end-to-end lead time of a process by highlighting and eliminating sources of waste, as well as by building processes and value streams where the individual processing steps are directly linked to their customers either by continuous flow or by pull.
Workshop Benefits
The benefits of using Value Stream Mapping to analyze and improve a manufacturing, service, and administrative process are:
- enables broad cross-functional participation in documenting the current state and shaping the future,
- helps to see and focus on process flow with a vision of an ideal or improved state,
- shows the linkage between material flow and information flow,
- provides a powerful tool in identifying waste, so it can be eliminated, contributing to shorter lead times and lower costs, and
- provides a common language to talk about processes and value streams.

Workshop Duration
This course is typically delivered as a one- or two-day workshop.
Who Should Attend
Process owners, managers, and employees throughout the organization involved in the critical manufacturing, service, and administrative processes that require efficiency improvements.
→ Lean Value Stream Mapping Kaizen Event Workshop
An actual Lean Value Stream Mapping event consists of 1 to 2 days of planning and preparation, followed by a two-day or three-day Value Stream Mapping event. During the event, the Value Stream Mapping methodology will be applied by the group to a specific high-impact manufacturing, service, or administrative process. Typical Value Stream Mapping events have if properly prepared, a payback time of less than 3 months.
