Mixed Model Complexity “Many products, operations, stations” “Some products have different routings” “cycle times and other variables can vary by product” “ Some stations are shared by different value streams” asc “ Product mix and demand can change” How do we avoid needing human computers to resolve the complexity ?

Why don’t normal VSM’s work ? Mix Model value streams have Varying demands for each product in the mix Varying product cycle times at some stations Varying routings for product Normal value stream maps don’t work because they can’t handle these product variations

eVSM Mix handles the product variations ! How does eVSM Mix Help ? eVSM Mix allows: Demand input by product Cycle times by product Routings by product eVSM Mix handles the product variations !

What do Practitioners think of MIX? We work with a pretty wide range of clients from a variety of industries.  All of them have some level of mixed model production.  With the new eVSM Mix software, we can build mixed model maps to capture variations in process flow, cycle time and other critical process parameters for the product family.  This allows us to use real demand scenarios to [see or quantify] the impact on the entire value stream in terms of resource capacity, lead time and line balance. The Mix capability is the greatest thing to happen to value stream mapping since the original eVSM software.   Brad Campling Managing Partner Stream Improvement Services
