ValueStreamDesigner - Value Stream Mapping Software

This software tool brings increased convenience and power to Value Stream Mapping. ValueStreamDesigner provides a simple and quick method to prepare, manage, share and present value stream maps. But the real power is in its “Tool-based Modeling” and “Dynamic Assessment of Value Streams”. These features allow easy comparison of alternative solutions, and analysis of “what if” scenarios. The benefit is early and reliable identification of hidden potentials in your value stream.

A value stream provides an integrated description of how a product passes through all stages of production. In this context, integrated means that both material and information flows are considered.

Value Stream Mapping is an essential Lean technique to visualize your enterprise value streams and to continuously improve them. Value Stream Mapping offers a series of advantages and enables you to unlock the tremendous potential of your processes.

Value Stream Mapping is an easy, fast and goal-oriented method: Drawing the current state of your value stream is done directly in the workplace. A future-state model is designed for each current-state map of your value stream, pointing out the direction for continuous improvement.

Improved communication: Being electronically available, the modeled value streams and the dynamic assessment results can be presented easily.

Improved project execution: Value stream maps are constantly changing. As electronic files they are easy to store, different versions can be created, and they can be distributed and consolidated.

Faster and more realistic assessment: Mean values are no longer adequate to describe scattering parameters. To accomplish a realistic and fast assessment of networked value streams, the ValueStreamDesigner enables the dynamic simulation of networked value streams. All this is possible at the touch of a button, with simulation know-how and programming being no longer necessary.

Simplified comparison of alternative solutions: The ValueStreamDesigner allows for a quick and easy comparison of alternatives. The real benefit offered by the ValueStreamDesigner is the early and reliable identification of hidden potentials.

A free copy of the ValueStreamDesigner trial-version is available. This version features modeling, loading, saving, and simulation of value stream maps, is fully functional but time limited. Register to download VSD trial-version.

Here’s what Jurgen Weber of SEW Eurodrive has to say:

…ValueStreamDesigner helps me during representation, and particularly with the evaluation of concepts. Training took only a few hours. With dynamic simulation of customer orders and production resources, I am able to optimize production planning and control, and can also examine the complex value stream in detail…
