IMPACTLean is much more than an automated Value Stream Mapping utility. It is a comprehensive solution that combines "one-click" Value Stream Mapping, process analysis, cost modeling, and project justification all into one package. Some of the key features of IMPACTLean are described below.

Data Driven Application:

IMPACTLean is a data driven solution rather than a "drag-and-drop" graphical solution. This enables for an unprecedented number of charts and reports to be generated for each value stream map modeled in the software.

Financial Analysis:

A comprehensive cost model is provided with each value stream map generated in IMPACTLean. This allows for bottom line cost impacts of converting from a current state scenario to future state scenarios to instantly be generated. In addition, IMPACTLean identifies the best future state scenario(s) to implement from a multitude of ideas. Never again be left into the dark as to whether you are implementing the best alternative when you can know for sure with IMPACTLean!

Mapping Capabilities:

IMPACTLean facilitates "one-click" value stream map creation of all kinds of complex product flow scenarios, including parallel processing, rework processing, subassemblies that merge together, and flows that split off into variants. The software does this by guiding users through all steps of the data entry process that are required in order to generate a value stream map.

IMPACTLean also enables for processes to easily be grouped into "swim lanes" on the value stream map. In addition, value stream maps can be nested inside of other value stream maps to help show the big picture. With this functionality, there is theoretically no limit to the size of the value stream map that can be modeled with IMPACTLean.

Future State Map generation is also a breeze with IMPACTLean. Users can simply copy over the existing Current State data, make the required modifications, and then draw the map. Future State alternatives can literally be modeled in seconds with IMPACTLean!
