The two main considerations for eVSM performance tend to be CPU clock speed and RAM available. We recommend using a machine with at least 16GB of RAM available at a minimum. Having 32-64GB should provide better performance with eVSM, as long as you are running the 64 bit editions of Microsoft Visio and Excel. A machine running dual core processors with around 2GHz per core should perform sufficiently.
If you see one of the following messages at when starting eVSM, you need to adjust the file block settings in the Visio Trust Center.
If your eVSM toolbar is not showing, please check the following.
The full 64-bit environment is recommended.
Important Notes:
Some of our users have evaluated us by simple looking at who else uses the eVSM software. See some of our clients at evsm.com/clients. We have not lost a VSM benchmark for a decade now.
The Visio Automation Events must be enabled for eVSM to run. To check/set this in Visio, click "File>Options>Advanced" to get to the following view. If the "Enable Automation events" checkbox is Off, please activate it and then exit Visio and start eVSM.
Now is an unsettled time in businesses around the world. After all, many companies are busier than ever, and need to work to rapidly re-deploy or increase capacity, and navigate disruptions in their supply chains. Typically, such problems and improvements
Mixed model value streams require significantly more data then single product value streams. The data input directly on the map can get tedious and time consuming. The Create XL and Import XL buttons makes this easier by facilitating data input via Excel.
