eVSM Extras

Value stream mapping for dedicated or mixed model production of engineered or process industry products. Note that applications marked with an asterisk(*) are only available with eVSM Mix.

EPEI 

The EPEI application is used to calculate 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

Mfg Multi Station 

The Mfg Multi-Station application is used to calculate the properties of an equivalent machine that has the same capacity as multiple machines with differing properties. Designed to be used with the Mfg VSM application.

Example Tutorial

Proc Multi Station 

The Proc Multi-Station application is used to calculate the properties of an equivalent machine that has the same capacity as multiple machines with differing properties. Designed to be used with the Processing VSM application.

Example Tutorial

POLCA 

The POLCA (Paired-cell Overlapping Loops of Cards with Authorization) application supports a methodology that is a variant of Kanban, suitable for companies which produce many different and/or customized products. It is part of the overall QRM methodology.

Example Tutorial

Decision Tree 

The Decision Tree application allows the creation of decision trees that lead to different outcomes as characterized by a flow percentage and a value.

 

Event Circle

The Event Circle application allow you to visualize all the transactions in a given pathway or process.

Example Tutorial

Materials VSM 

The Materials mapping application supports quantification and reduction of the materials waste in the value stream, and for detail steps within one process of the value stream. It includes provision for six sigma type X-Y association showing control variables that contribute to waste outcomes.
