Macro: VSM timeline

Use

The VSM Timeline macro is started for models of the Value stream map type. The macro draws a timeline for the model. The customer demand rate is calculated in the following way:

Work days x (Shift duration x Shift work)/Quantity

Work days and Shift duration are model attributes and Shift work and Quantity are customer attributes.

For each process, the following attributes must be maintained: Value-added time (VSM timeline) and Non-value-added time (VSM timeline).

The Time (VSM timeline) attribute must be maintained for the shipment to connection and for all connections between processes.

The macro calculates the lead time, the value added time, and the value-added ratio.

VSM timeline

The process steps for the model of the Value stream map type must be arranged linearly (see graphic). It is not possible to evaluate parallel process steps.
