Introducing managers to the VSM using a personal VSM
Kybernetes, 2013PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present the results of a short research study that introduced a group of busy managers, in an organisation in turmoil, to Stafford Beer's Viable System Model (VSM) through the use of a personal construct, developed by Allenna Leonard.Design/methodology/approachThis study, designed as systemic action research, was ...

A Benchmarking Study on Existing VSM Software
, 2022 Every Lean optimization path typically starts with the mapping of a process, to identify criticalities and wastes embedded in manufacturing processes. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) represents the main and most suitable Lean technique to this purpose, thanks to its simplicity and immediacy residing in its visual effectiveness.

VSM growth is stimulated in sympathetic neuron/VSM cocultures: role of TGF-β2 and endothelin
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2000 Sympathetic nerves are purported to stimulate blood vessel growth. The mechanism(s) underlying this stimulation has not been determined. With use of an in vitro coculture model, the present study tests the hypothesis that sympathetic neurons stimulate the growth of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) and evaluates potential mechanisms mediating this ...

Towards a conceptual framework for value stream mapping (VSM) implementation: an investigation of managerial factors [PDF]
International Journal of Production Research, 2017 © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Despite the relatively extensive literature on VSM, limited reflection has been reported regarding how managerial proceedings actually put VSM into practice.

A PDCA-based approach to Environmental Value Stream Mapping (E-VSM) [PDF]
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018 Research into the application of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) as a tool to enhance the environmental sustainability performance of operations has been confined to a handful of studies only.

An optimized features extraction algorithm on VSM
2012 9th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2012VSM (Vector Space Model) is one of the important methods for describing documents. However, in the process of information representation, features are always high dimensional. So feature extraction technologies have to be used to reduce dimensions. At present, there are lots of feature extraction algorithms, in which TF-IDF,TF-IDF-IG are used widely in

Observing experiences with the VSM
Kybernetes, 2004This paper offers a senior manager's reflections on experiences with the viable system model (VSM) in different situations of its application. These reflections are based on second‐order observation; that is on observing the forms of first‐order distinctions. Recently, systems thinking developed by Niklas Luhmann serves as an epistemological background.

Computations of the accuracy of VSM
Proceedings of 20th Biennial Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements, 2002The accuracy of the measurements by vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) has been studied by the computations of the sensitivity function. The arrangement of the coils is important to approach a wide spatial-uniformity of the sensitivity function. The errors due to the directional displacements of the sphere are lower than 2% if the mis-alignments are ...
