DRIVING
CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENT.
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is more than a drawing exercise, it’s a proven Lean tool that helps manufacturers visualize the process and information flow, recognize lead times of each process, identify waste, and create actionable roadmaps for improvement. In this webinar, you’ll discover how VSM can uncover hidden inefficiencies and bring teams together to drive meaningful change.
Participants will learn how to:
  • Define and map value streams across their operations
  • Spot bottlenecks, redundancies, and waste in current processes
  • Use VSM to prioritize improvements and align teams
  • Translate maps into actionable steps that deliver measurable results
Whether you are new to Lean or looking to refresh your improvement toolkit, this session will give you practical insights to start applying Value Stream Mapping for real impact.
