While Examples are helping to understand the concepts but at the same time the content should have more case studies with different scenarios for example, the process running in multiple shifts
By Danielle McCorkle on 4/7/2026

Qualidade do áudio muda de vídeo para vídeo e quando tem música tocando de fundo fica difícil de entender algumas coisas que o professor está dizendo, somado a dessincronização das legendas você precisa adivinhar ou rever algumas partes pra entender o que está sendo dito.

THIS IS MY 9TH COURSE. SO FAR IT IS AS FAST PACED AND INFORMATIVE AND THE PREVIOUS 8. BUT, YOU CAN'T SEE THE VALUE UNTIL YOU JUMP INTO THE STREAM. LOL!
By Americo Adrian Torres Cepeda on 3/2/2026
it was a good starting lesson, with usefull information, i would only modify a bit the concept or Value Added and Non Value Added. But in general i rlly liked this first lesson.
By James Daniel Smith on 2/4/2026
It was a great class, and I would definitely recommend it to others. It clearly breaks down the map and explains how everything functions.

I have already experience in the area of lean management an time studies. Nevertheless I am learning the first time how to make a VSM. The first 50% of the course was really great. I am a native german speaker, but i decided to take this course in english (even my english is not perfect. It is an opportunity to improve my english skills and to learn VSM. But the main reason is, it is definetly the best course regarding VSM in Udemy. Everything was understandable and relevant. 50% is already done. Now I will make the other 50%. It is also a preparation for my new position in the company. Therefore this course is very valuable for me.

Good so far but many assumptions are being made. For example, the Paint production example assumes that the operations are human dependent and not machine dependent and that just by adding another human doesn't necessarily increase throughput if the operation is machine paced. Another assumption is that just because planning doesn't order raw materials for 7 days doesn't mean it takes 7 days to place the order. they may only place the order in time for delivery to not increase oh Inventory.
By Shardul Joshi on 12/28/2025
Very informative but fast paced. Some questions do arise but I understand those are part of the Large Module as Lean Six Sigma and other solutions. But subtly all questions related to VSM were answered.
