Value stream mapping is a lean management method
for analyzing and optimizing a series of events for production or
services. Even today the first step in value stream analysis - the
acquisition of the current state map - is still created using pen
& paper by physically visiting the production line. We capture a
digital representation of how manufacturing processes look like
in reality. The manufacturing processes can be represented and
efficiently analyzed for future production planning as a future
state map by using a meta description together with a dependency
graph. With VASCO we present a tool, which contributes to
all parts of value stream analysis - from data acquisition, over
analyzing, planning, comparison up to simulation of alternative
future state maps. We call this a holistic approach for Value stream
mapping including detailed analysis of lead time, productivity,
space, distance, material disposal, energy and carbon dioxide
equivalents - depending in a change of calculated direct product
costs.
