The company noted that VSM can be limited in value “since it is a static image of value stream” (Andrade, Pereira, & Del Conte, 2016, p. 547) and like the software VSM examples this company also applied computer simulations to overcome said obstacle. The goal was to “reduce time between placement of order by customer and the time of delivery of the product” (p.547) and VSM helped the team members to identify one bottleneck and exaggerated stock levels in-between processes as the main sources of waste; thus improving the process
