Value Stream Mapping Training Courses
Value Stream Mapping is an important tool to help your business or department to improve. By accurately mapping the process, and identifying where the value and waste in that process are, you can work with the teams involved to make it better. As with many tools found in Lean Six Sigma, this approach has its foundations in working with people to build an improvement culture, rather than simply imposing a change.
Following this eLearning course, you will have confidence with Value Stream Mapping. You’ll have the skills to accurately create a Current State Map, and understand how to mark up your Value Stream Map in order to identify areas for improvement. You’ll gain an understanding of how to manage your process to match customer demand, and how to plan for the future without overstretching.
Each element is clearly explained and you’ll have a number of practical exercises to complete in order to embed your learning. However, you don’t need any prior experience of Value Stream Mapping or Business Improvement to complete this course.
While this is a short course, and focussed on one particular element of improvement, it is extremely beneficial to understand how we can identify opportunities within our workplaces. You’ll learn how to map any process, and then walk through it to identify where the value is and where you could improve – a vital skill in any industry.
Following the completion of the Value Stream Mapping training, you will:
- Have an understanding of the Value Stream and why we need to map it
- Have the skills to create a Value Stream Map
- Be able to use the current state Map to identify opportunities for improvement
