VALUE STREAM SIMULATION

Scope of the simulation 

• Decision support tool for analysing and evaluating the value streams of the actual state and planning 

• Dynamic view of the production system taking account of stochastic influences such as faults 

General conditions 

• No detailed technology simulation, but reduced to principles of production logistics 

• Use by internal lean consultants 

• Fields of application: Pull systems (Kanban); assessment of lean methods (Hejunka, One-Piece Flow, SMED); standardisation of the production system 

Results

• Synchronisation of production and needs 

• Reduction of stocks, lead times and capital lockup 

• Stable and efficient processes even under volatile general conditions 

• Reduction of investment risks
