Scorecards - Change Impact Analysis

Experiment and understand the vital improvement levers through dynamic what-if analysis on your value stream maps.

  • To better understand the value of quality, scorecards proactively calculate the additional units required to achieve 100% of demand
  • Contrast current vs. future inventory
  • Provides ability to contrast multiple scenarios (as-is versus to-be)
  • Performance indicators change to notify when a process step becomes a constraint
  • To save time and ensure consistency, scorecards can be configured to contain necessary fields
  • Optimize your workload balancing with easy one-click charts
  • Easy one-click export to Microsoft Excel if needed


Cycle-Time Variability Modeling
Extend Lean to Six Sigma

Capture actual cycle time data as opposed to averages for accuracy of results, making it easy to calculate your process sigma level. SigmaFlow automatically calculates the Mean, Standard Deviation, and Six Sigma Projected Mean Average Deviation Cycle Time for your cycle time data. Mean Cycle Time is then transferred easily to the Data Property forms. Calculations include:

  • DPMO (PPM Defect)
  • Sigma Value for Defect (No Shift)
  • Sigma Value for Defect (With Yield % to Takt Time)
  • Yield % to Takt Time
  • Six Sigma Projected (MAD) Cycle Time
  • Effective Six Sigma Projected (MAD) Cycle Time
  • Process Step Cycle Time Score (Six Sigma)
  • Sigma Value for Cycle Time (No Shift)
  • Sigma Value for Cycle Time (With 1.5 Shift)
  • Effective Cycle Time (ECT)

See some example formulas


Lean/Fat Determination

Our value stream mapping software contains a unique Lean Benchmarking diagnostic that utilizes process Throughput, Work in Process, Bottleneck Rate, and Raw Process Time data to graphically illustrate if your process is Lean or Fat. If Fat, use Lean tools to Lean the process. If the process is already Lean, then use Six Sigma tools to reduce variability.


Takt Time Calculator

Takt Time CalculatorSimplify customer demand calculations using VSM software. The Takt Time Calculator allows users to capture basic value stream mapping information such as available work time (per shift or per day), demand in pieces per time period and EPE and automatically calculate the required Takt Time.

Our value stream mapping software allows you to capture/define your own fields so you can customize value stream maps as per your organization needs. Once defined, these fields can then be used at individual value stream map steps to collect data. This, combined with data defined in the Takt Time Calculator, helps you analyze your current state as well as future state.


Mistake-proofed Calculations

Standardized formulas with built-in fields and calculations enhance value stream ease-of-use and lower the required level of training. This improves consistency and ensures fewer errors and defects. Value stream mapping calculations will consistently be deployed throughout the enterprise, allowing users to focus on value-add activities as opposed to spending time building spreadsheets.

Multi-Level Value Stream Maps

Point-and-click, drag-and-drop diagramming of information and material flow - and creating value stream maps with Microsoft Visio-based drawing tools provides a familiar interface.

  • Create value stream sub-processes & hierarchy with automatic data rollup
  • Select from dozens of industry-standard shapes
    • Production
    • Transportation
    • Processing
    • Inventory
    • Information
    • Value-add time
    • More
  • Create and set custom field properties for any shape
  • Automated data display on the drawing for each shape
  • Easily reuse any existing Visio Value Stream Maps
  • Diagrams can be saved as a web page


Process Simulation
(Upgrade Option)

Extensions include performing discrete event simulation on your value stream maps. Simulation allows you to visually observe changes in a process as you modify it and record performance measures under different scenarios.

Simulator Process Analyzer™ lets you explore an electronic model of your value stream map - whether it is a simple process, a portion of a process, an administrative center, or a complete end-to-end procedure. The model is time-based, and takes into account all the resources and constraints involved – and monitors the way these variables interact with each other as time passes.

With simulation you can quickly experiment at a fraction of the cost of deploying changes in the real organization. And because you can test ideas quickly, you can implement many more improvements and gain additional insights into how to manage your organization more effectively.

Enterprise Process Management
(Upgrade Option)

Process Visualization provides a hierarchical process model of your organization so that employees can better understand end-to-end process value streams and roll-up process and metric information by the process hierarchy. Insights™ required.
