Lean: Eliminate Waste. Increase Efficiency.
It has been proven that Lean methods improve efficiency, reduce cost, and increase the overall profitability of organizations. Although different variations of these methods have been applied to different industries, the fact remains, that if implemented correctly, Lean methods work. The main problem remaining is the toolset used to implement lean. Today's organizations need to be very adaptive, and very dynamic in the way they react to consumer demand; and what better way to adapt than with a dynamic tool? Avoid lost opportunity and lost revenue, by eliminating slow operational response with Simcad Pro’s patented dynamic technology.

The Value Stream Map
  • Display the Value Stream Map in the traditional format, or place on top of a CAD layout.
  • In addition to the static values in the VSM, Simcad Pro dynamically computes all required parameters including lead time, efficiencies, value added time, waste time, and more...
  • Changes to the simulation model are dynamically transferred to the VSM view, and all computed data is updated.
  • For high mix operations, a Value Network Map can be displayed to provide product specific results and the impact of product mix.
  • The VSM can be displayed along with the object or resource flow spaghetti diagram.

 

Lean Reports and Analysis
Simcad Pro also provides an extensive list of reporting and analysis tools to further improve the lean analysis environment;
  • Product sorting and grouping for high mix operations.
  • Detailed routing analysis for every object flowing through the system.
  • Efficiency computation reports.
  • Part based efficiency and its effect on the overall model.
  • Cycle time breakdown showing non value added time and schedules in a Gantt chart format.
  • Effects of transition and product movement on the flow.
