What it brings your lean team
VALUEX keeps the map and its calculations in one place, digital and current; the team looks at the same flow and talks with the same numbers.
Keep the value stream off paper and walls
- The map is drawn with sticky notes and paper in the workshop; when it ends, only a photo remains and the data is lost.
- Lead time and process cycle efficiency (PCE) are calculated by hand; change one value and everything is recalculated.
- The future state lives in a separate drawing and cannot be compared with the current state on the same scale.
- Months later there is no record showing whether the improvement really worked.
A real diagram editor
Standard VSM symbols are placed by drag and drop and connected with material and information flow arrows; the table view shows the same data in a classic table.
Metrics on their own
Total lead time, value-added time, PCE, takt time and the bottleneck are recalculated with every change. The formulas are written out in the guide.
AI waste analysis
grupas.ai assesses your current-state map against each of the 7 waste types, comments on the bottleneck and PCE, and gives prioritized recommendations.
Current and future state together
Each project holds both maps; the future state starts with one click from a copy of the current state and is measured with the same metrics.
Revisions and before / after
A company's studies are kept as revisions; lead time and PCE are compared between two linked projects.
Share-ready outputs
Maps download as vector PDFs identical to the screen; the waste analysis report as PDF or Markdown.
In the browser, nothing to install
No desktop installation; the team, the shop floor and the office reach the same map from anywhere. Each customer gets a separate environment and database; users are managed by the administrator.
Backed by training and consulting
VALUEX was built on Grupas's lean transformation training and consulting experience. The in-app guide explains symbols, formulas and the 7 wastes; in training it is used right away with sample data.
Six capabilities, one application
VALUEX capabilities follow the natural order of a value stream study: map, measure, analyze, design the future state, compare revisions and share.
For any production with flow and inventory
Discrete manufacturing
Companies making parts and assemblies — automotive, home appliances, machinery, metal, electrical-electronics, furniture.
Process and series production
Any production line with flow and inventory — food, packaging, plastics, chemicals, textiles, building materials.
Lean transformation programs
Teams, trainers and consultants who make the value stream the starting point of a lean, TPM or operational excellence journey.
- Lean / operational excellence managers and teams
- Production, plant and planning managers
- Process, industrial and quality engineers
- Kaizen leaders, lean trainers and consultants
