Overview

Process mapping is an essential tool for understanding your processes in order to improve them. And Value Stream Mapping takes that benefit one step further.

Value Stream Mapping allows you to see the value in your processes - and the waste - and how it moves through your organisation. This allows you to pinpoint areas for improvement, increasing efficiency. This online course will teach you all about Value Stream Mapping, and how to do it.

Description

By accurately mapping a process, and being able to identify where the value and waste is, you have a clear visual guide for improvement. Process Mapping teams will include those who own the process, so that changes are agreed and can be made quickly.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
