Benefits of Using Software
While value stream maps are not overly difficult to construct, utilizing software can help speed up the process and simplify calculations that help make up a completed map. (These calculations include elements such as takt time, inventory, and value-add time). Further enhancements often include tools that can analyze the current process and facilitate future state maps (with the provision of "what if" and scenario modelling). Such tools also make it easier to engage the extended team (management, suppliers, finance, etc) through more accurate, clearer presentation of the current state.
