The Digital Value Stream Twin

“…Additionally, the basic literature of VSMM will be considered as well. It appears, that two directions are sought within the framework of VSMM: [6][7][8]18] Databases:…”

“…This includes particularly the continuous monitoring of the value stream, e.g., inventories, lead times and overall equipment effectiveness [15]. Furthermore, especially regarding production planning and control, the short-term capacity adjustment for changing customer takt is an essential feature of reactive VSMM [7]. To support this reactive improvement, a value stream Map needs to be continuously and timely updated with the latest data and values from each single process of the Value Stream.…”

“…To achieve transparency of a value stream, the visualization must be aligned with the representation and symbolism of the VSM. This allows us to display complex interdependencies between individual manufacturing steps [4,7]. Data and information system integration is achieved in the data level within the virtual layer.…”

“…The target state is designed with the aid of design principles and guidelines. [7] For instance, the design guidelines support the calculation of the customer cycle, the lead time, the design of the process connections and the required number of employees [7,8]. Finally, the developed target state is gradually realized by means of individual projects as part of an implementation plan [6].…”
