Leanovations Develops an eVSM Partnership
PLAINVILLE, CT – Leanovations, LLC a Lean and Innovations Consulting Company from Connecticut developed a partnership to support eVSM (electronic value stream mapping) software in the Northeast Region of the United States for GumshoeKI headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. eVSM software is developed independently by GumshoeKI, a visual communications company and a Microsoft Visio Solutions partner. Leanovations will assist in the distribution, sales and training for eVSM software. eVSM is the easiest way to visualize the value stream and uses common standardized templates, which provide an international language when working with value stream mapping all Lean practitioners understand.
The software is designed to complement the Lean implementation methodologies in the Shingo award-winning, best-selling publication "Learning To See" by Mike Rother and John Shook, and provides comprehensive support for the mapping, calculations, box scores and charts. The combined capability allows Lean practitioners to draw, analyze and communicate globally Value Stream Maps using standardized templates that any Lean practitioner understands regardless of the language they speak. For this reason, over 20% of the Fortune 500 companies use eVSM, with extensive international use.
Fred Shamburg, founder and President of Leanovations, LLC established 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 will 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 and in 20% of the Fortune 500 companies, for lean manufacturing, lean service and lean healthcare. “We have enjoyed a relationship with Fred Shamburg and the Leanovations team and know their dedication to helping companies compete worldwide, and we look forward to this partnership continue working with Leanovations on enhancing eVSM even further to support a strong Lean Supply Chain initiative giving companies a competitive advantage” States Dilesh Patel. “We have just beginning to see companies utilize the power of eVSM to engage their Supply Chain and those who are using eVSM to share Lean ideas are making leaps forward in streamlining the total value stream by identifying the waste and seeing the opportunities to improve” stated Herman Ranpuria.
Leanovations Consultant Company strives to meet our client’s needs in lean, innovations and managing business complexity to enjoy profitable growth. Leanovations is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) which helps manufacturing companies compete on a worldwide basis.

Leanovations Collaborates with GumshoeKI eVSM Workshop
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (October 3, 2008)
Leanovations Collaborates with GumshoeKI on an Advanced Lean Workshop Training “eVSM Value Stream Mapping Workshop” at Central Connecticut State University’s ITBD Conference Center.
PLAINVILLE, CT – Leanovations, LLC a Lean and Innovations Consulting Company from Connecticut collaborated with GumshoeKI a Visual Communications Company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, to present an “Advanced Value Stream Mapping Lean Tools Workshop” at Central Connecticut State University Conference Center. The Workshop demonstrated the power of eVSM Software as a Dynamic Value Stream Mapping and Management tool for making strategic plans and deployment decisions. The one-day workshop took place on Monday, September 22nd, 2008.
Lean is a process improvement methodology based on the Toyota Production System. When implementing Lean, process diagrams called Value Stream Maps, are essential tools that are used for visualization, planning and communication throughout the transformation. Value Stream Maps are traditionally hand-drawn and have an established iconic language. In recent years, several tools have emerged to allow electronic capture of the hand-drawn maps, primarily for ease of communication, modification and analysis of the maps.
The Workshop was hands on and very interactive. The participants developed their skills using the eVSM software to capture the current state of a classroom Nerf Ball Factory simulation. The participants utilized the eVSM software to analyze the current state and develop strategic plans to improve their Nerf Ball Factory to compete globally. Then the participants conducted a re-layout of their factory via a “Kaizen Event” from their eVSM analysis, not once but two times, while always capturing their actions on eVSM Software.
Dilesh Patel is a co-founder and President of the Visual Communications Company, GumshoeKI, headquartered in Cincinnati, OH. Over his 25-year career, Mr. Patel has held senior positions in consulting services, product development, marketing, and sales. His work with global companies like Nokia, Procter & Gamble, Nissan and Siemens has taught him the power of simple visual alphabets in developing world class processes. He is passionate about the application of visual communications in the workplace and has spoken at numerous venues on this topic. Mr. Patel is a graduate of the University of Southampton in England and holds an MS in Engineering from M.I.T.
Fred Shamburg President of Leanovations, LLC established a process that focuses on teaching companies to re-invent themselves through innovations along with coaching lean manufacturing to eliminate wastes. “I believe bringing GumshoeKI and Dilesh Patel to teach the dynamics of eVSM to New England companies is critical. Many companies have begun their lean transformation but are struggling because they have not found an easy way to communicate and analyze their Value Streams effectively, GumshoeKI’s software tool eVSM will bring an innovative approach to their process”, states Fred Shamburg. “eVSM is used by over 7000 Lean practitioners and in 20% of the Fortune 500 companies today” states Dilesh Patel. “We have worked before with Fred and the Leanovations team and know their dedication to helping companies compete worldwide, and we look forward to continue working with Leanovations on future workshops”, states Dilesh Patel.
