Thanks for having purchased our Equable VSM1 calculator add-in excel. We value your business and we hope that we
will satisfy you!
This template was developed as a tool to support Lean Six Sigma Black Belt teams conducting Values Stream Mappings. It calculates
quickly the data that you need from a VSM session : Cycle time, Value Added Time, Business Value Added Time, Non Value Added
Time, Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE), TAKT time, Average Work in Progress (WIP), Process Value, FTEs and Labor Costs.
Aside from the working template is a completed template to use as a sample illustration. It includes the associated graphs generated
from the template data.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) fill in all areas highlighted in White - the VSM 1 data and their corresponding graphs will update
2) eventually edit the graphs and arrange them
3) the spreadsheet is protected but you can format all the cells (i.e. change the currency unit of the monetary cells) and edit the graphs
Template assumptions:
1) when filled, a cell of the process step operator column in the VSM 1 table must correspond to one of the defined
process operator functions in the process operator table. Else the calculations would be incorrect.
Template Limitations:
