MapVS is a mobile-first value stream mapping platform for the people who improve processes - Lean consultants, continuous improvement leads, operations managers, and anyone who wants to make a workflow measurably better.
Three things that make it different
- Record instead of guess: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and web apps let you time processes as they happen instead of estimating from memory.
- DES simulation on the canvas: watch work items flow through your map so bottlenecks show themselves.
- Improvement tracking built in: bottlenecks become tracked improvement actions on a kanban board, with before/after comparison to prove impact.
Who it's not for
If you just want to draw a static flowchart, use a general diagram tool. MapVS is heavier - it earns its weight when you're actually measuring and improving. If you're documenting a process for a compliance binder, look elsewhere.
