Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about VALUEX, flow metrics, AI analysis, license models, setup, language and data.
What is VALUEX?+
VALUEX is an application that runs Value Stream Mapping — one of the core lean tools — in the browser: current- and future-state maps, automatic flow metrics, AI waste analysis, revision comparison and PDF outputs in one place.
Which metrics does it calculate?+
Total lead time (inventory days + process cycle times converted to days), value-added time, process cycle efficiency (PCE), takt time (shift time ÷ daily demand) and the bottleneck (the process with the longest cycle time). The formulas are written out in the in-app guide.
How does the AI analysis work?+
When you press the Waste Analysis button, your current-state map data is sent to grupas.ai; a report returns with an assessment of each of the 7 wastes, bottleneck and lead time / PCE commentary and prioritized recommendations. It never runs on its own; the final decision is always your team's.
Which license models are available? What are the prices?+
Monthly subscription, annual subscription, purchase (perpetual license) and a project license for Grupas projects. Pricing depends on the license model and the number of users — contact us through the demo / quote form.
Does it need installation?+
No. VALUEX runs in the browser; a separate environment and a separate database are prepared by Grupas for each customer.
Which industries is it for?+
For any production with material and information flow, inventories and process steps: discrete manufacturing (automotive, appliances, machinery, metal, electronics, furniture) and process / series production (food, packaging, plastics, chemicals, textiles).
What language is the application in?+
The VALUEX interface and guide are in Turkish. This website is in four languages; let's discuss your need for another language in the demo call.
Where is our data and who can see it?+
Each customer's data is kept in its own environment, in a separate database; your administrator defines users and their rights.
Can it be used in training?+
Yes. A ready-made value stream loads with sample data in one click; the guide explains symbols, formulas and the 7 wastes. Grupas provides training and consulting on value stream mapping and lean transformation, and VALUEX users are trained on the application.
How can I get a demo?+
Fill in the demo / quote form; we will get back to you and schedule a live walkthrough with sample data.
