eVSM can be used to simplify data collection, creation of wall value stream maps and subsequent capture of these into eVSM
- First we design and print paper templates for data collection
- You walk the value stream and fill in the data templates
- The templates are used to create a wall map
- A digital picture of the wall map is brought into eVSM and traced over to do the capture
Here's a picture of data collection templates created with eVSM's "Quick Mfg" stencil. Its useful to print these at 2X scale for usage on wall maps
Here's a picture of the eVSM screen after importing a simple wall map created using the paper templates and starting to trace over it. See Jon's related blog for step by step details on map import
