Simulating Value Streams with Pavel Azaletskiy

Our host, VSMC CEO Helen Beal, was joined by VSMC ambassador Pavel Azaletskiy, the CEO and founder of VS Optima, for a conversation about simulating value streams.

Simulation models value stream complexities to make better decisions about what to change, how to identify bottlenecks, and what the implications of those changes might be on performance. Value streams are dynamic so simulation can provide a system perspective on how the value stream will work under different conditions, such as higher demand or changes in team composition.
