Value stream mapping brings clarity on how well a process is functioning, uncovering the steps that may not be adding value. UMAS consultants use this understanding to create future state processes that help in improving engagement and productivity across board.

In a typical operational process, value adding steps
In a typical operational process, value adding steps, those that make it valuable to the customer or the business, often gets buried in wasteful activities that cost time and money. Businesses looking to boost productivity and improve flow/load balancing must seek to eliminate such bottlenecks.
UMAS leverages a proprietary tool to carry out an in-depth analysis of a process, allowing the mapping of Value being added at each stage in office-based processes. The technique used in conjunction with MOST® operations, capturing critical information on the process.
UMAS – Products PVA-Process Value Analyzer
Productivity Benefits with High ROI
UMAS PDMSTM allows you to qualitatively sequence work content in a process, streamlining & standardizing it for efficient workflow and improving workforce allocation as well. The end result is optimal use of people, space and equipment.
ExperiencedConsultants
As people who have delivered productivity benefits in a range of operations, UMAS consultants know how best to leverage MOST® and its systems for improved processes
Data Driven
Recommendations
Our recommendations are holistic and use the data gathered to create a future state process that is not only free of waste or delays but also increases workforce engagement
FlexibleTool
MDAT™ can be deployed flexibly allowing for use in production floors, back offices or service operations. Using Value Stream Mapping we can identify and solve several typical bottlenecks & identify Value Added Work Content
Thorough ProcessData Collection
The MDAT™ is a highly precise and dependable tool that gathers minute data on every step of the process – mapping the activity, the time taken and the physical movements involved
The UMAS Difference
With our expertise in process improvement we have leveraged MOST® on operational processes within dozens of organizations who have benefited from an average 30% improvement. We use a holistic perspective to suggest improvements in Layouts, Capacity Planning, Workforce Utilization and Corrected Routings.
Flexible Tool
PDMS™ is a pivotal step in the process improvement approach. UMAS deploys MDAT™ – Most Data Acquisition Tool – in the process of developing Routing data by Operation – A Process sheet which connects operation process parameters to Routings to generate SOP for operations which includes details like child parts, tools/gauges and required revisions.The Tool is highly effective in solving different Industrial Engineering problems as it correctly identifies the issues surrounding the routing or the flow of a process. It can be applied across all industry verticals.The MDAT™ allows for attaching of visual documentation such as photos and videos to showcase the step. This is highly useful for training operatives on the right workflow. The process sheet containing all relevant data connects routings to the mapped parameters for the operations, allowing for generation of SOP that include complex steps like child parts and revisions based on tools/gauges.
It facilitates Operation wise FMEA and reveals information about activity wise postural analysis for MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorder) using REBA RULA Technique. Routing Level Content of Work and Analysis is available as well as Process Benchmarks and Comparisons are available.
