eVSM Application Examples

eVSM is a set of templates made for helping you improve value streams. This page provides a list of these improvement applications, example maps created using them and “step by step” guides so you can see how to use them.

	Quick Mix Manufacturing Supports plant level mixed model manufacturing value streams. Tech Sheet Examples
Discrete Parts Manufacturing Quick Manufacturing supports plant level mapping of discrete parts and assemblies in industries like automotive, electro-mechanical, and medical equipment. Tech Sheet Examples Tutorial Video
	Supply Network Quick Supply Network models inbound and outbound supply for a product. Includes analyses for lead time, risk, and total cost of ownership. Maps can be overlaid onto geographic views for additional insight. Tech Sheet Examples Tutorial
A3 The A3 Wizard create A3 Reports in Visio with a starter template and a dedicated stencil of standard shapes from eVSM. Example Tutorial
	Kanban Calculator The Kanban Wizard is used to calculate kanban sizing and quantities. Example Tutorial
Continuous (Food and Chemicals) Processing Quick Processing supports plant level mapping of chemicals or food processing. Tech Sheet Examples Tutorial
	Transactional Mapping Quick Transactional Pro supports transactional value streams and includes concepts of decisions, loops, splits, merges, shared resources across activities, resource balancing charts, and activity based costing. Tech Sheet Examples Tutorial
Customer Journey Mapping A visual representation of the experience your customers have with your products and services. Allows ideation and prioritization to move the customer experience to one that build loyalty, a long term relationship and long term revenue Tech Sheet
	Manufacturing Network Quick Manufacturing Network supports supply chain, logistics, and distribution value stream mapping for discrete parts and assemblies that allows calculation of demand, cost, and lead times. Examples Tutorial
Quick Processing Network Quick Processing Network supports supply chain, logistics, and distribution value stream mapping of chemicals and food processes that allows calculation of demand, cost, and lead times. Examples Tutorial
	Healthcare Quick Healthcare supports value stream mapping for healthcare. It includes concepts of divergent flow, shared resources across activities, resource balancing charts, and activity based costing. Tech Sheet Examples Tutorial
Quick Warehouse Quick Warehouse supports warehouse process mapping.  Examples Tutorial
	Manufacturing Critical-path Time (MCT) Quick MCT supports calculating and charting MCT, the QRM (Quick Response Manufacturing) metric with "lead time" type components. Tech Sheet Examples Tutorial
Quick Time Quick Time measures time (VA and NVA) associated with the value stream. It has no other variables. Example Tutorial
	Standard Work Combination The Standard Work Wizard allows layout of standard work with manual, machine, and walk times and creates a standard work chart. Example Tutorial
Spaghetti Charting The Spaghetti Wizard allows you to draw paths on a floor plan and then export a Path Report with distances to Excel.  Example Tutorial
	Manufacturing Multi Station Calculator The Manufacturing Multi Station Wizard calculates the properties of an equivalent machine that has the same capacity as multiple machines with differing properties. Designed to be used with Quick Manufacturing. Example Tutorial
Processing Multi Station Calculator The Processing Multi Station Wizard calculates the properties of an equivalent machine that has the same capacity as multiple machines with differing properties. Designed to be used with Quick Processing. Example Tutorial
	POLCA The POLCA (Paired-cell Overlapping Loops of Cards with Authorization) Wizard is a variant of Kanban, suitable for companies which produce many different and/or customized products. Example Tutorial
Facility Time Pro Wizard The Facility Time Pro Wizard allows direct specification by each weekday of times, shift patterns, and related costs. Summary values from the wizard can be used on production maps. Example Tutorial
	Plant Milk Run Plan one or more milk run routes to provide materials replenishment at workstations at fixed time intervals. It estimates the route time. You can then add or remove stops, change the route geometry, and couple/decouple loading and unloading operations. Example Video
EPEI Calculator The EPEI Wizard calculates the min possible and actual EPEI (Every Part Every Interval) intervals for multiple products going through a single station with differing demands and lot sizes. Example Tutorial
	Event Circle The Event Circle Wizard allows you to visualize all the transactions in a given pathway or process. Example Tutorial
Quick Changeover Allows analysis of converting a line or machine from running one product to another with calculation of walk times, work times, and separation of internal and external work components. Also computes cost of product capacity lost during changeover. Supports changeover work content from multiple staff. Generates C/O work chart with timings. Example Tutorial
