If you are interested in the coupling with the value stream simulator or in a central project management to exchange your value streams with colleagues, please contact simvsm@simplan.de with the keyword "SimVSM Pro". - By connecting to a value stream simulator, you also get a dynamic evaluation of the modelled value stream. This includes the development of on-time delivery, process utilization, bottleneck analysis, throughput, stock levels and lead times against the background of dynamic conditions over time. - Project management allows projects to be stored centrally and exchanged with authorized users. Should you also have customizing requirements regarding the use of your own value stream objects, logos, or symbols, we also offer a variety of different options.
