The eVSM Software helps draw, analyze and improve MIXED MODEL value streams. Its used to accelerate lean deployments and returns from improvement efforts.
It’s a solution used by over 25,000 improvement professionals worldwide over the last two decades.
In this video, see how quickly a mixed model plant map is captured in eVSM.
eVSM supports the full continous improvement process
The eVSM software supports every step in the improvement cycle shown on the right. The end result is a VSM model that is easy to share, easy to reuse, easy to analyze. Contrast this with the paper output of many VSM events.
eVSM maps mixed model value streams
Use eVSM to map and improve mixed model value streams. These are value streams that produce multiple product variants through shared resources at the plant or network level.
eVSM has innovated a unique and simpler approach to these Mixed Model value stream maps. The approach leads to master maps instead of having to create and maintain multiple maps for different products and families. It removes all the averaging and guesswork after the multiple maps are created also. 95% of value streams are Mixed Model today. See a map being created from scratch in the 15 min video below
eVSM maps every value stream type
eVSM has standardized comprehensive automated MIXED MODEL mapping applications for the three primary VSM types (Production, Network, Transactional) and lean tools in addition for VSD (value stream design) work.
Each eVSM mapping application has a centralized resources page that describes the application and provides on-line learning resources

eVSM has pre-set variables, equations, and charts
Our clients (including those in the Fortune 100) have dropped internal development of VSM tools and are using Standard eVSM. 99% of our users only use the preset variables, equations, charts because these have become a global standard.

eVSM allows creation of visual maps and dashboards
A value stream map is used to build consensus on how the value stream works, it key metrics, and the best next improvements to make.
This is best done by using visuals like cycle time/takt time charts, lead time charts, resource balance charts. eVSM also has color-coded “gadgets to pinpoint high utilizations. It has Line thickness gadgets to visually depict quantities and cost moving down the value stream.
It’s the easiest way to visualize the value stream.
eVSM is backed by eLearning and expert support
eLearning is available for each of our mapping applications.
Facilitated on-line, on-site, on-demand training/map services are also available to accelerate adoption of eVSM by improvement teams and ensure success of the initial VSM activities.

"With the new eVSM Mix software, we can build mixed model maps to capture variations in process flow, cycle time and other critical process parameters for the product family. This allows us to use real demand scenarios to [see or quantify] the impact on the entire value stream in terms of resource capacity, lead time and line balance. The Mix capability is the greatest thing to happen to value stream mapping since the original eVSM software.”
