VSM: BUILD A VALUE STREAM MAP – #80
Context
- You are already familiar with Lean Manufacturing but especially with localized improvement activities such as Kaizen workshops or others.
- You now want a tool that can structure your approach globally and generate gains throughout the factory.
Objectives
- Understand the benefits and scope of VSM.
- Be able to identify the major workflows included in a VSM.
- Review the key concepts of Lean Manufacturing.
- Build a current state VSM that is both legible and sufficiently documented.
- Build a first level target map and establish the macro action plan for implementation.
Recommanded for
- Industrial Directors
- Production Managers
- Process Managers
- Future Lean Managers
- Production Supervisors.
Prerequisites
No prerequisites.
Pedagogy
- Based on a case study inspired by a real case, the trainees are led to build by themselves the 3 major elements of their first VSM (existing map, Lean target map, macro action plan). A progressive “answer key” is used to allow a homogeneous advance of the trainees’ level of understanding and to guarantee a real appropriation of the tool.
Evaluation mode
-
Validation by the trainer of the ability to apply the concepts and tools taught through situational exercises.
Course materials

Aurélien FACHE - KUHN HUARD
“The VSM tool is explained and detailed step by step in an excellent pedagogical way. “
Benoît FERQUEL - DEFONTAINE
“The combination of learning theoretical notions and their immediate application in the field through DO IT projects and tools such as VSM has opened the eyes of teams, whatever their position in the company. Today, the trend is reversed: it is visual management that is the main focus and this is complemented by information systems, whereas a year ago it was the opposite. Pragmatism and the participation of each person take precedence over everything else. “
