Draw your Value Stream Map in Excel

Draw your Value Stream Map in Excel

People buy all these different products to do simple drawings for Value Stream Mapping using basic symbols. When they are done, they pull out the Microsoft Excel sheet and do the calculations. Sometimes they are even forced to create their own formulas. I became familiar with Systems2win and their Value Stream Mapping tool does both, drawings and the calculations. I know that the right tool for the calculations was Excel but drawing with it?

Skeptical,think again. This is the first drawing on Youtube done with Microsoft Excel exclusively. The real amount of time it took was 12 hours and 56 minutes Special thanks to Valentina (Gracias por la paciencia T_T) and Patolín (Saludos a la distancia compadre =D)

Now, all theSystems2win Value Stream Mapping Tool ask you to do is to draw this:

Don't be embarrassed if you can't, but why did I ever buy Visio? By the way, some of the best collection of Excel Training videos are bundled on the System2win site along with Kaizen, Lean and Six Sigma tools.
