Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Training and Consultancy
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a fundamental lean management tool that visualizes all the steps of a business process or value chain, along with material and information flows, on a single page. Grupas Gelişim's VSM program enables you to distinguish value-added activities — the ones customers are willing to pay for — from waste (muda), and to make losses across the flow from order to shipment visible. The program offers a structured 10-step roadmap consisting of preparation, current state map, identification of non-value-added activities, future state map, action plan, improvement, evaluation of technological developments, customer feedback, standardization and training. Takt time calculation, lead time, cycle time, inventory/WIP analysis, pull systems, FIFO, supermarkets and kanban, along with other standard VSM symbols and techniques, are covered through hands-on practice.
