Statistical evaluation according to 6 Sigma and its metrics provide a common language for making the process relationships fully measurable and thus set the stage for process optimization.

Bottleneck analysis flows from these metrics which then indicate the dominating stations that pace the operations Dominating Station Graph (DSG), as well as the capacity, efficiency etc. of the equipment which are quickly revealed.

With a mouse click, the resulting Value Stream Map (VSM) can be displayed or bar charts can be called up to show the time losses in a way that makes it easy for planners and facility operators to actually „see“ complex inherent losses (waste) and their causes.
