LeanView ™ is the industry's first fully integrated Value Stream Mapping, Lean Process Design, Analytics & Implementation Solution.

This demonstration is designed to help executives, managers, and practitioners (both Lean & Six Sigma) fully utilize the information technology that plays a critical role in supporting enterprise Lean Transformation.

LeanView ™ teaches how to leverage and extend commonly-used Microsoft Office System Solutions, enabling companies of all types and sizes to implement lean processes with an efficient, cost-effective method, clearly improving operational and financial performance. LeanView ™ allows practitioners to quickly and easily create standard work output in Microsoft's Excel, PowerPoint or Word to facilitate out-briefings and dissemination of critical data.

LeanView is a fully integrated lean process design solution developed to help businesses of all types and sizes cost-effectively design, evaluate and implement lean processes for improved operational and financial performance.

Because Leanview is built on Microsoft's Visio, Excel and Project products, it delivers powerful yet user friendly tools that leverage and extend the inherent strengths and widespread availability of these commonly used Microsoft ® Office solutions.

LeanView's functionality aligns with and supports world class Lean practices while providing a framework for enterprise-wide Lean deployment&sustainment .

LeanView StandardEdition : the newly re-engineered LeanView Standard combines advanced value stream mapping, lean process design, analytical and project management tools with industry-proven financial modeling techniques to create streamlined processes that deliver measurable bottom-line value to your business.
Leanview's 'Return on Key Assets' (ROKA) model enables managers to quickly and accurately assess the current-state financial performance of a value stream before the application of Lean and Six Sigma. By applying LeanView's ROKA model to future-state value streams, managers can forecast, capture and report Lean and Six Sigma derived operational and financial savings to the finance organization to assist with Sarbanes-Oxley reporting.

LeanView now includes AutoDraw Technology: LeanView combines the power your mouse with Microsoft Visio 2003 and creates a point, click, draw environment to automatically draw a full first order representation of the value stream map in as little as 3 mouse clicks.
AutoDraw greatly reduces time requirements for current and future state capture and allows practitioners to focus on data capture and analysis.

With LeanView , users can do the following:
Improve and integrate Lean and Six Sigma processes and programs
•  Streamline drawing, distribution, and updating of Value Stream Map (VSM) diagrams
•  Automatically calculate key operational and financial metrics for each VSM state
•  Transform raw financial and process data into business intelligence depicting key performance
  indicators for each Value Stream
•  Compare a Value Stream's current state with baseline, future and ideal states using a consistent
  set of appropriate VSM metrics
•  Seamlessly transform process improvement opportunities into actionable project plans
•  Provide enterprise-level visibility and control over all Lean and Six Sigma project related
activities and resources
•  Assist finance with Sarbanes-Oxley compliancy by closing the gap between reported savings and
  actual bottom-line performance

Communicate information clearly and collaborate more effectively.
•  Create comprehensive management reports for each value stream
•  Hyperlink between parts of a LeanView?diagram to other LeanView?diagrams or to supporting files
or Web Pages for enterprise level views
•  Collaborate and share LeanView?diagrams from within Microsoft ® Visio interface using Document
Workspaces that reside on Windows Sharepoint ? Services sites (requires Microsoft SharePoint
Portal Server
•  Populate management dashboards with SolutionXML and VisioXML

Define & Analyze Parallel Paths and Processes .
•  Draw Parallel Value Streams and Processes
•  Capture and analyze parallel process people, costs and inventory
•  Utilize Flow Path Highlighters to Visualize Parallel Paths and Flows
•  Define in Process Parts and Materials for more accurate analysis

Draw Diagrams Utilizing all Visio Styles, Shapes & Templates .
•  Create comprehensive process flowcharts utilizing Swimlanes ( RaceCar ), Fishbone (Cause & Effect), Flow Charting, Engineering, Org Charts, Software Code Design ( OOD's ) etc...
•  Convert any Visio Stencil Shape to LeanView?Shape allowing Lean Data Entry and Reporting
•  Export Shapes and Maps to MS Word or PowerPoint for easy outbriefings

•  Systematically Implement Lean Processes for improved operational and financial performance
•  Produce comprehensive current-state VSMs for each product family
•  Systematically evaluate financial and operational performance
•  Identify and prioritize improvement opportunities
•  Design and moel future-state VSMs
•  Project financial and operational improvements
•  Plan and execute projects to realize lean savings & measure results
•  Validate, report and communicate Lean savings to all levels of the organization
•  Account for Lean savings in earnings reports

Empower managers and lean practitioners by providing a lean toolset that supports the systematic collection, design, analysis, reporting and dissemination of VSM data.

Enhance Visibility & Mitigate Risks
Quickly and easily retrieve accurate data on current and future-state VSMs to enable faster and better informed decision-making. Create a risk management tool by modeling the effects of proposed process changes on existing operations before implementation.

Standardize Processes & Best Practices
Standardize project planning processes using corporate standards and industry best-practices. Benchmark and communicate project results for continuous improvement.

Reduce Costs, while Maintaining Quality
LeanView's robust, integrated process optimization tools provide accurate and timely information on current operations, while providing a framework to systematically transition to lean.

 Accelerate Time to Benefit
Accelerate time-to-benefit by compressing Lean event timelines, reducing response and approval cycles, and creating a knowledge-base for future process improvement initiatives
