The practical approach, the manageable effort and the target-oriented procedure are the factors of success of this method. However, the method is of limited use when applied to make-to-order (MTO) environments. This paper aims to describe the shortcomings of VSM with respect to an application in a MTO production. The paper concentrates on the different logistic targets VSM impacts, as well as the manufacturing control tasks VSM applies. To set the basis for an application of VSM in MTO companies, requirements are described both for the logistic targets of VSM and the related manufacturing control tasks. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2014.enmake-to-orderproduction controlvalue stream mappingWirtschaftConference Paper10.1007/978-3-662-44733-8_49Other
