Value Stream Mapping (VSM)

  • Course Code: OPS-204

  • Format: In-Person / Virtual

  • Description: You cannot fix what you cannot see. Grounded in Lean Theory, this course visualizes the flow of material and information. Participants draw "Current State" maps to calculate Cycle Time versus Lead Time, identifying the bottlenecks that slow down delivery.

  • Learning Objectives:

  • Visualize material and information flow to identify bottlenecks.

  • Draw a "Current State" map and calculate Cycle Time vs. Lead Time.

  • Distinguish between value-added and non-value-added process steps.

  • Scholar-Practitioner Framework:

  • Theory: Lean Theory.

  • Application: Current State Mapping.

Curriculum: Mapping Symbols; Calculating Takt Time; Designing the Future State.
