Master value stream mapping concepts, symbols, and case studies to identify waste, boost efficiency, and improve productivity and customer satisfaction in software environments.
Learn value stream mapping as a lean technique to visualize material and information flow, distinguish value-added from non-value-added steps, and design current and future state maps to eliminate waste.
Learn terminologies and symbols used in value stream mapping, including bottleneck, buffer, cycle time, downtime, inventory, and information and material flow symbols, with examples.
Choose a cross-functional VSM team of product-savvy subject matter experts, ensure understanding of value stream mapping, and appoint a team leader to coordinate data, brainstorming, and implementation.
Map the information flow in a current state value stream map, linking customer orders to buying lists, procurement, and weekly production schedules with a seasonal forecast and 14-day lead times.
Create a current state value stream map and calculate lead time, storage time, tag time, and cycle time from procurement to delivery, revealing 39.93 days of lead time.
Review a value stream map calculation for a toy figure plant, computing tag time, process time, cycle time, and lead time and storage time for a one-shift operation.
Practice value stream map analysis through practical exercises, solving questions on cycle time, tech time, and operators to assess demand feasibility and identify wastes such as overproduction and motion.
Lay a solid foundation for your future state value stream map by testing changes against the current map, applying flow, readjustment, and batch-size principles to improve process quality.
Explore achieving continuous flow in value stream mapping through pull production, using Conwip and Kanban to manage work in progress and align production times.
Learn how to smooth production using Heijunka load leveling by volume, stabilizing workload and aligning cycle times to meet demand and build a strong future state value stream map.
Learn how the Heijunka box visually manages capacity for multiple products across days, using green and red Kanban cards to signal availability and guide production decisions.
Reduce changeover time for future state value stream map by applying Smed, converting internal to external steps, standardizing and piloting improvements across manufacturing and healthcare.
Identify root causes of defects with five whys and fishbone diagrams to reduce defective products, then use current state value stream maps to reveal Kaizen opportunities.
Conclude by building the foundation for the future state value stream map using current-state analysis, Heijunka, batch-size adjustments, and Kaizen.
Calculate the takt time to guide the future state value stream map. With 26,100 seconds available and a demand of 300 cans, the takt time is 87 seconds per unit.
Balance cycle times by moving pigment diffusion, paint thinning, and canning to the paste making process, enabling a continuous flow value stream with cycle time below the tag time.
Develop the future state value stream map by outlining the implementation plan and holding weekly meetings to update progress and ensure accountability for the changes.
What is Value Stream Map Analysis?
Value stream map analysis is a method by which you create a current state map of your business process, analyze it and design the future state map. It is a visualization tool with a focus on identifying and eliminating waste. It is therefore also referred to as the heart of lean management.

Inclusion of a real case study
As part of the course, you will be introduced to a real-life case study. This case study will help translate the concepts discussed in each lesson into real, practical scenarios. This case study is designed to help you fully understand the topics you will learn and apply them practically to the value stream map we will create together in this course.
The course is very well structured
You will become an expert in the practice of value stream mapping
The entire course is divided into 10 sections
Each section is devoted to a specific value stream map analysis concept
This concept is taught in more than 59 lessons
In each lesson, easy-to-understand subject matter is taught, which is therefore easy to apply
Each lesson consists of a video screencast
Each section is rounded off with:
A stage goal discussed at the beginning
The concept is then discussed in detail
Examples are then discussed to verify concepts from a practical point of view
This is followed by a case study from practice as well as task and task solutions
Each section ends with an apt summary
There are tasks for each tool taught in this training
Each task is followed by a video presentation in which the self-assessment solution is discussed
There is extensive downloadable material covering everything you need to become a value stream mapping specialist
