  • Changeover Time
  • Defect %

No applicable leanTypes​

This is shown when the property type that is selected does not support a leanType. This will default to a value of "none" and be ignored when doing calculations for VSM.

Allowed type mappings​

  • Percent → None, Availability %, Defect %, % Complete And Accurate, Uptime %
  • Duration / Time → None, Changeover Time, Inventory Time, Non-value-add Time, Processing Time, Value Add Time
  • Numeric → None, Inventory Amount, Operators

Deleting​

While they can't be deleted from the DDCP they can be set to a value of none. This will make it so that they have no affect to VSM diagrams. 

Updating Existing DDCP​

Existing DDCP that are in diagrams that existed prior to VSM release can be updated to set a Lean type. This also applies to diagram that's type is changed to VSM.

Additionally property types that have an allowed type mapping can change freely between any of the leanTypes listed above.
