Introductory On-Site LEAN ASSESSMENT

High Performance Lean Assessment

 When starting a Lean transformation or when planning "next steps" in a Lean initiative already underway, a Lean audit is necessary step to help you determine your current state. Once you have determined your current state you can effectively plan your future state and the strategy for getting there.

Our high performance Lean Assessment is a multi-faceted approach to understanding gaps, creating a clear and concise roadmap for implementation and to build the case and consensus for change. Our assessment process includes interviews and observations, value stream mapping as well as space, data, and waste analysis. Our assessment output ranks an organization based on 9 key lean pillars and approximately 40 attributes.

Our assessment process drives out the gaps between the current state and world-class and allows an accurate lean assessment of our clients' current business methods and highlights the lean opportunities. An implementation roadmap, resource requirements and ROI are a deliverable of all assessments.

Our Diagnostic Scorecard is a powerful Excel diagnostic tool that will help you understand your organization's capabilities and track its progress against benchmarks set by world leaders in Lean management.
