Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a Lean Manufacturing technique used to analyze and design the flow of material and/or information. It enables a company to identify and eliminate waste, in order to streamline work processes, cut lead times, reduce costs, and increase quality.
Through VSM, a team of employees maps the current state from customer back to raw material, including all steps – both value-added and non-value-added – and develops a Future State vision to act as a blueprint for Lean activities. The Future State often represents a significant change from the way the company currently operates, and during VSM, the employee team develops an implementation strategy to make the Future State a reality. The most urgent needs are addressed first and can typically be met in a short time frame when the appropriate resources are applied.
This course is designed for those who are new to quality and those who are quality practitioners who work in office and support functions, manufacturing, service, and supply chains.
During this Value Stream Mapping course, participants will develop both the theoretical and practical applications of Value Stream Mapping concepts, tools, and techniques, through a combination of classroom instruction and team-based exercises. Specific Learning Objectives include:

Quality Support Group provides world class training in many useful topics. Their trainers, specifically Don and Dave, are very knowledgeable and genuinely there to help you learn and understand. I took their Green Belt training and certification, and highly recommend it. They have excellent training material, software tools, and activities. They are teaching from many years of experience and have so much technical and industry knowledge that makes it easier to relate to, understand, and apply the concepts. From this experience, I will definitely be looking to get more training from them to improve my skills. I highly recommend reaching out to QSG for your training needs and more. My company, Hexagon, has trusted them for years, having them continually train our employees in regulatory standards, problem solving 8D, continuous improvement, etc
