the easiest way to visualize the value stream

Welcome to eVSM

Independent eVSM User's Group on Linked In

The eVSM software is the easiest way to visualize the value stream and is used today by 13000+ lean practitioners across the globe. It has an online user group on LinkedIn and has been featured on webcasts on Microsoft Technet and on ASQ (American Society of Quality). It explicitly supports mapping at facility and enterprise levels for discrete parts manufacturing, food processing, chemical processing, administration and healthcare.
