تطبيق على VSM systems

على كيس شركة ABF
Analysis of five internal VSM systems within ABF, gives me a clear view that these five internal VSM systems could help a company to manage complexity.
The five internal VSM systems within ABF organization are:
System 1: Operations
There are there are three operational unites identified: Warehouse, transport and manufacturing unites of food products.
System 2: Stability
It is completely absent that the food market is filled with other competitors who alert the stability of the system, some new and sudden constants as the new produces launched or fluctuation of market and customer demands may interpret the flow of work and then cash flow affection and can't be prevented.
System 3: Cohesion
There is a strong co-operation facilities in associated British food organization, its information system works in place; there is no alert that annual meeting is continuously implemented strong its working climate and co-operation for all teams sales, production and marketing.
System 4: Planning
It is mainly consists the main system of ABF organization, planning for operation gives every team ideas about the outside climate and food sector competition giving attention about what and where the company are and what it will achieve and how it will achieve it.
System 5: Policy
Policy of ABF Company respected from all members and employees feel satisfied about this matter, good and continuous planning beside employees and management co-operation, that managers gives workforce the strength to be more autonomous and achieve high level of performance.

Result from diagnosis of complexity via five internal systems of VSM on system of focus:
From previous diagnosis, the company could give a concern to the stability which is missed from this system * As a result of stress from competition and high budget, stability is missed; some employee could lose the interest due to high budget of the company, affection of sales by political factor or aggressive competition from other rivals. * The complexity which arise from such stress could be managed by vigorous and continuous planning trying to increase market sales, this may works according to market circumstances but I think that the real solution will comes from increase innovation and advertisement among all sectors, media, networks, field force has a major role to increase sales and decrease stress on our management team, sales team could make weakly plan for their sales around one month , managers could give sales team members higher number than their budget to be achieved to enforce them to work hardly and use commissions to motivate them, stress considered as complexity on famous and international food production company as ABF, which could get rid of. * Company has enormous freedom to choose its employees, it has the capacity to select and decide its behavior at the limit it doesn't threaten a larger system or its strategy, this gives its sub-systems much autonomy as possible as that they absorb environmental variety as possible leaving management with a smaller residual variety to match, it gives employees the autonomy they need to solve their problems and take opportunities but employees don't know how and why this figured of budget is outlined, sales department has another additional limit placed on their autonomy.

Conclusion on using VSM for managing complexity:
It known that every subsystem within viable system is itself a viable system, they all have the same generic VSM structure, so we can divide the complexity into different structural levels which can be treated one at time.
Within a ABF organization there are several, manufacture unites, marketing unite, sales unit , Each one considered as a subsystem which could be represented within the overall diagram as viable system with their own operations and management, these subsystems within ABF company or unites have their own immediate environments within the environment. So, every unit or subsystem has the autonomy to maintain their identities and solve their problems.
The company gives the marketing group a great deal of autonomy they responsible for innovations, the company gives the marketing force the priority and freedom to put a plan of visits to every supermarkets and contact customers.
VSM in summary
Clearly, the five functions reinvent themselves at each level, giving the whole structure a strength and integrity that comes from having well formed and well interconnected parts. Each line (or channel) in the model is of course two way - a communication loop that needs to be designed and managed with the idea of complexity.
