Value Stream Mapping Software
Analyze, design, and improve value streams – and connect them with layout and material flow in one digital model.

From Value Stream Analysis to Actionable Factory Planning
Value stream mapping is a proven method to identify waste, improve flow, and design efficient production systems. However, traditional value stream analysis is often limited to abstract diagrams that are disconnected from the physical factory layout and material flow.
As a result, improvements remain conceptual and are difficult to translate into concrete planning decisions. visTable® bridges this gap by connecting value stream analysis with layout and material flow in one digital model. This enables you to move from analysis to implementation and evaluate changes within the real factory context.

Frequently Asked Questions on Value Stream Planning with visTable®
How is value stream mapping defined?
Value Stream Analysis describes the systematic mapping of all material and information flows within a process. The goal is to identify waste and design processes more efficiently. With visTABLE®, this analysis becomes digital, transparent, and instantly measurable.
How does value stream mapping work?
The analysis is carried out by recording processes, inventories, and transports. visTABLE® automatically calculates key metrics such as lead time and utilization and presents them clearly.
When should value stream analysis be performed?
It is essential when processes are complex or potential waste is identified. visTABLE® delivers fast, comparative data, especially relevant for manufacturing and assembly operations.
What is the goal of value stream mapping?
The goal is the optimization of processes through shorter lead times, reduced inventory, and less waste. visTABLE® delivers the key figures for this directly from your layout and process data.
What does value stream mapping analyze?
All process steps — from material supply and transport to delivery. visTABLE® automatically integrates this data and makes it transparent.
What role does value stream analysis play in lean management?
As a central Lean Management tool, it serves to pinpoint and eliminate waste. visTABLE® allows you to merge this proven technique with digital factory layout design.
How long does value stream mapping take?
Traditional paper-based mapping can take days or weeks. visTABLE® dramatically cuts this effort by allowing direct data import and instant analysis.
How do I perform value stream mapping?
It is typically mapped with paper and symbols. With visTABLE®, you model value streams digitally, import data, and immediately receive transparent results.
How is value stream mapping performed?
The analysis involves mapping processes, material flows, and inventories. visTABLE® streamlines this by providing automated calculations and clear visualization.
What benefit does visTABLE® provide for value stream mapping in my company?
The software creates full transparency in your production and logistics processes. Instead of mapping countless value streams on paper, preparing them for management, and ultimately implementing the measures in other tools, you create a digital twin from the start with this software – and in a particularly straightforward manner. This combines easy accessibility with all the advantages of digitalization. Information silos within the company are finally a thing of the past.
Can I perform multiple value stream analyses?
Yes. Even complex value streams can be captured intuitively and displayed at different levels of detail or within specific value stream sections. All this information is brought together in a single integrated model. Material flows and transports become transparent for everyone involved through the layout. This ensures full visibility at all times. Changes to individual value streams remain traceable, enabling your cross-functional teams to recognize correlations. An innovative optimization concept becomes applicable, accelerating lean transformation and paving the way toward efficient processes in production and logistics.
How is the value stream captured?
The current state analysis can be carried out directly on the shop floor. Simple and intuitive operation makes it possible to record value creation, process chains, logistics, inventories, and cycle times in a short amount of time. Data from IT systems can be transferred via a standardized Excel interface. The value stream software offers vivid visualization and displays the material flow within the layout. This makes waste, value creation, material transports, movements, and employee walking distances understandable to everyone.
Can I import existing logistics data?
The software offers various options for transferring data from other systems. A standardized Excel interface is available to utilize information from ERP, inventory management systems, or process mining.
Are standard symbols available?
You map logistical processes using process boxes and arrows that symbolize transports. Inventories are visualized using the triangle symbol. Individual adjustments to the symbol designs are not possible; this keeps the representation compact and the operation simple. Information flows cannot be captured either, as the data collection focuses on material flow.
Do I need to purchase additional visTABLE® modules for value stream analysis?
That is not necessary. All available functions of visTABLE® are included. You do not need to order or unlock anything extra. One tool is sufficient to integrate the value stream and layout according to the Lean philosophy.
Is visTABLE® only suitable for value stream mapping/value stream design, or are there additional fields of application?
visTABLE® is utilized wherever processes are analyzed, Lean Logistics is implemented, and layouts need to be planned within the company. This allows you to break out of information silos. visTABLE® supports systematic layout planning and centers on a factory planning model consistently oriented toward the Lean philosophy. This paves the way for lean and adaptable production. Scenarios in assembly, warehousing, the integration of linked systems, as well as hall, plant, and site planning are all supported.
