    Do you ful­ly under­stand your entire pro­duc­tion process from end to end? The best way to get in deep to your busi­ness process’s is with a tool known as val­ue stream map­ping, or VSM for short. In these cours­es you will see how to cre­ate your own val­ue stream maps. Addi­tion­al­ly you can also expe­ri­ence sim­u­la­tions used to prove the supe­ri­or­i­ty of flow, over batch pro­duc­tion for most processes.
