LEAN MANUFACTURING techniques’ leading analytical discipline in a new generation of training. Come and acquire new skills.
The course is part of the LEAN EXPERT certified programme.
An innovated form of training with high added value in both the online and factory variant.


Wherever there is a product for a customer, there is a value stream. We will teach you to perceive value streams, map them and analyse the opportunities they present using the VSM technique (Value-Stream Mapping).

We will explain value-stream mapping using general theory and graphical simulation. In training, you will try mapping on video analyses from a factory created by our TractorMotive simulation. Learn to implement a detailed analysis of workplaces, lines and the production process as a whole. You will be making extensive use of value analyses and new 3Z, 3X techniques. We will separately set up studies of permeation and process balance. You will understand and manually put together a VSM map.

Together we define the process / topic / tools. You perform measurement and observation in the process, compile analyzes. The consultant will check your work, help you with advice and expertise. We will help you and your implementation team to build a VSM and come up with a VSD. If you are interested, you can order online implementation support in addition to the training to streamline the process and achieve the VSD target state.
