Value stream mapping gives teams a clear picture of how materials and information flow through a process and where time, effort and cost are wasted. This course teaches participants to map current-state value streams, identify waste and constraints, design future-state processes and develop implementation plans. It applies to manufacturing, service, administrative and healthcare environments. Through practical mapping exercises and case studies, participants build the skills to lead value stream improvement in their organisations.
