Digital Process Twin for Value Stream Method and Value Stream Design

A Digital Value stream Twin is the virtual representation of the value stream of a production system. A value stream of a production system involves all the steps including from the start of the system to the point where product is delivered to product. Therefore, a Digital Value Stream Twin monitors the value stream from the point at the beginning to the point at the end. Monitoring of a value stream with the Digital Value Stream Twin helps to identify the bottlenecks in the value stream which makes the whole process streamlined. Additionally, this helps a lot to shopfloor managers to improve the decision making process. Hence, a Digital Value Stream Twin is a systematic and goal-oriented approach to improve the performance of the production process and assist shopfloor managers to make the decisions that help them to improve the value stream.
