    The document discusses Value Stream Mapping (VSM) standards which apply lean concepts of standard work to creating and using VSMs. A VSM standard defines variables to measure/calculate on maps, equations to calculate values, and macro shapes and stencils to provide uniformity. It benefits organizations by enabling rapid mapping, eliminating need to define basics, easier comprehension, and less errors. The standard is created by deciding on names/units, writing equations, making macro shapes, and putting them in a stencil file.

    A VSM Standard for a Lean deployment

    What Is a VSM Standard ?


    A Value Stream Mapping standard applies the lean concept of standard work to the activity of creating and leveraging value stream maps. These are critical assets at the heart of a lean deployment. As with other standard work this is a documented method such that the work can be easily done according to the standard. Because there is a standard, it can be improved over time and any improvement leveraged over the whole organization. eVSM has been designed to promote the creation and leverage of a VSM standard. This document discusses how this is done and provides metrics on the benefits

    Who uses the VSM Standard ?


    Value Stream Manager Lean Six Sigma Practitioner

    The standard is used by everyone involved in drawing, analyzing and comprehending value stream maps. Its highly leveraged in any organization involved in a lean deployment.

    Process Improvement Expert

    Process Worker

    What is in the VSM standard ?


    The VSM standard defines which variables need to be measured & calculated on the map. For variables that need to be calculated it specifies the equations with which the calculations are done. The VSM standard groups variables on the map into standard Activity Centers (with Cycle Time, Staff, Changeover Time..), Summary Blocks (Lead Time, Inventory Turns,..) etc.. For critical parameters on the map, standard Charts are specified (operator balance, CT/TT chart..). Process

    What are the benefits ?


    The benefits of a standard are : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Rapid mapping Eliminating need to write basic equations Eliminating need to define basic charts Easier and uniform map comprehension Less errors

    Name This is the variable name in the eVSM data block (shown on right). Unit Names have associated default units that are automatically applied.
    A List of Names and Units is part of the VSM Standard.

    Value

    Equation Equations allow some variables (like


    NVA Time or Production Lead Time) to be automatically calculated from other data on the map. Equations are processed using Excel and can use any excel functions. Managed Equations in eVSM are part of the VSM Standard.

    Takt Time (Secs) = Demand / Production Time (Secs)

    Set A combination of names, units and


    equations can be stored and distributed to other users as a set. A set and stencil (see below) together define a VSM Standard.

    Units Names ACME Standard Equations

    Macro Shapes These are a collection of


    several simple eVSM shapes into a macro shape that can be put on the map with a single drag & drop. The VSM Standard includes macro shapes for Activity Centers and Summary Blocks. Preconfigured plots (like a CT/TT Plot) can also be set up and stored in the VSM standard so they can applied with a single drag & drop. Company logos, titles, revision blocks etc.. can all be included in macro shapes and stored in the VSM Standard to provide uniformity to value stream maps.

    Stencil Macro Shapes can be moved to a stencil from which they can be applied with a drag & drop. This stencil can be saved as a file to use on new maps or share with others.
    A stencil in combination with a set comprise the VSM Standard in eVSM. A VSM Standard button on the computer desktop automatically opens eVSM with the standard for new maps. Email : [email protected]

    Steps to Create a VSM Standard


    Basic Steps
    Follow these steps to create a VSM standard: Decide on Names & Units you would like to use and enter these into the eVSM as a Set. Write Managed Equations. Create macro shapes. Put the macro shapes in a stencil file.

    Getting Help
    Contact us to help you create a standard. Its not difficult and really pays off. We will be hosting webcasts that illustrate standards development and usage corresponding to some of the key workbooks in our lean library (such as Learning To See). Email : [email protected]

    Eliminating Waste
    Mapping without a VSM standard will result in a great deal of waste !. eVSM is explicitly designed to help you create and leverage a VSM standard to the benefit of your organization. Contact us to see how.
