Hands-on Value Stream Mapping in development and administration: Increase efficiency, reduce waste

Duration: 1 day

Participants: 6 to 12 people

Location: in person

Cost: on request

Training participants sitting in front of a laptop during the ITK Agile and Scrum training sessions.

Discover how to identify waste, eliminate bottlenecks, and sustainably accelerate the flow of value in your processes. You will gain a powerful tool to design your administrative processes and development workflows to be more efficient, transparent, and agile. In this practical, hands-on training, you will learn and apply the proven method of Value Stream Mapping.

Objectives and training content

After this training, participants will be able to independently conduct a value stream analysis for their own processes. They can define and visualize the value stream, collect relevant metrics such as lead time, cycle time, and wait time, and identify bottlenecks and their root causes. The training enables participants to derive concrete improvement actions from their findings and to plan the initial steps for process optimization.

Training content:

  • Fundamentals of Lean Management and Value Stream Mapping
    • Introduction to the five core principles of Lean
    • The fundamentals of Value Stream Mapping
    • The strengths of Value Stream Mapping and its areas of application
  • Practical application: Visualize and analyze the value stream
    • Systematic recording and visual representation of individual process steps
    • Qualitative analysis: Uncovering problems and untapped potential
    • Quantitative analysis: Collecting metrics such as cycle time, wait time, and lead time
  • Identifying bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
    • Identification of “hotspots” (bottlenecks) and their root causes
    • Synthesizing findings to develop key improvement approaches
  • Development of concrete strategies for implementing improvements
  • Creation of a personal action plan to directly apply what you’ve learned in your own work environment

The content of the training can be tailored to your project-specific requirements and questions.
