Discrete Event Simulation (DES)
Watch work items flow through your value stream on the canvas. See queues form, bottlenecks emerge, and throughput settle.
What-If scenario analysis
Clone your current-state map, tweak the numbers, and see PCE, lead time, and dollar savings in the diff.
Cross-map overlays
Overlay multiple value stream maps to spot patterns and shared bottlenecks across product families or sites.
Recording runs and comparison
Every recording creates a numbered run. Compare runs to prove improvement or spot regression.
NFC-triggered recording
Stick NFC tags at workstations. Scanning a tag auto-starts or stops the relevant step timer.
GPS waypoint auto-timing
Set start and end coordinates for a stage. Steps auto-time as the worker moves between waypoints.
Voice notes on every step
Dictate observations while you record. Notes attach to the current step and are transcribed automatically.
Photo evidence with annotation
Attach photos to any step and mark them up with arrows and labels to preserve context.
Shift calendars per station
Assign day/night/rotating shift patterns to individual stations for accurate takt time and OEE.
How MapVS calculates OEE
Overall Equipment Effectiveness broken down into Availability, Performance, and Quality - all per station.
Multi-product variant flows
Map multiple products on the same value stream to see where they diverge, share bottlenecks, and contend for resources.
Improvements kanban board
Turn bottlenecks and waste into tracked improvement actions. Watch them move through Ideas -> Doing -> Done.
AI video annotation (Beta)
Upload a process video and let AI identify steps, estimate cycle times, and classify VA/NVA automatically.
The template library
1,000+ pre-built process templates across 33 industries. Fork one to skip the blank-page problem.
AI-powered insights (Beta)
Ask questions about your maps in plain English. AI reads the data and suggests where to look.
