best-selling publication "Learning To See" and provides comprehensive support for the mapping, calculations, box
scores and charts. The combined capability allows Lean practitioners to draw, analyze and communicate globally

a process that focuses on teaching companies to re-invent themselves for profitable growth through lean and innovations along
with coaching companies to compete worldwide with a Lean Supply Chain. “I believe for companies to
compete globally they must truly engage and develop a Lean Supply Chain and eVSM is a tool that can provide them with a competitive
advantage”. States Fred Shamburg “It is easy to create and deploy standardized templates for maps, metrics, units,
tables and storyboards for consistent and productive opportunities for improvements by Lean practitioners and be able to present
them to their Supply Chain around the world making, eVSM a dynamic tool for management in making strategic plans and decisions”. Dilesh Patel and Herman Ranpuria, co-founders of the Visual Communications
Company, GumshoeKI, and developed eVSM the leading "drag & drop" value stream mapping, analysis
used today by 8500+ lean practitioners around the world, for lean manufacturing, lean service and lean healthcare.

companies compete worldwide. We welcome this partnership and working with Leanovations to enhance eVSM
to support a strong Lean Supply Chain initiative, giving companies a competitive advantage”, States Dilesh Patel.
“We are seeing companies utilize the power of eVSM to engage their Supply Chain. Those who
are using eVSM to share Lean ideas are making great leaps forward in identifying waste and seeing the opportunities to improve
