i found this course to be brief, concise and to the point. In slightly over an hour it encompasses theory AND practical exercises to map out value streams with increasingly degree of difficulty (and relevance). Yes, the exercises lack solution, but a quick search in the internet after you put some thought into it, will render the solution. In short, for the time that it takes to watch a bad movie in Netflix, you can master VSM and refresh on 7 wastes of lean (TIMWOOD) and root cause (5 why's, fish bone etc.). Additionally, you can follow up with an equally good course from Coursera Instructor Network "Lean Mfg & Robotics for flexible Systems"..., Good luck!

This training module is very insightful. Just a little request, I feel before giving the participant a chance to practice what they learn, A step by step illustration will go a long way. Anyways, Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us

A brief but full course. Thanks, it supported me a lot to my Master final workpaper!

GREAT COURSE!!

nice

Not enough mapping but too much focus on problem solving methodology instead. I would rather go through some bacis examples with the instructor, building actual maps.

Very practical and user friendly course and well delivered

Well detail explanation done

The information was neat an told in a efficient manner. Good extra materials, and I think you can get good understanding of how to do a good VSM. Minor problems is that there were little or no helpful exercises on this (some minor "tasks" in video which werent really properly implemented), so practical task planning is left for user. There was also a mistake on the last exam, where question 5. in my case gave wrong answer, when the answer reply said that my answer was the right choice.

Not helpful in actually learning how to perform VSM. Similar content to reading a Wikipedia article, just takes longer. I do not understand how the exercises should be performed without teaching the methodology before.

very limited understanding of actual (Toyota/Lean) VSM demonstrated by the creator of this course

O curso apenas abrange noções teóricos e os conceitos do VSM e não explica efetivamente como se constrói e elabora um. Em nenhum momento sequer mostraram exemplos práticos. Não recomendo. Com uma simples pesquisa no google é possível aprender os conceitos aqui abordados. Não vale de todo a pena.
