Assessment
The Assessment includes the analysis and evaluation of the initial situation together with the client, the choice of diagnostic tools and the rapid conduct of the on-field check-up,
with the involvement of the organisation's personnel.
​
The client is provided with an executive summary of the situation identified, weakness
and opportunities for improvement, along with a Lean road map outlining priority interventions,
high-impact projects, implementation timelines and economic returns.
​
The Assessment can be conducted to different types of organizations, both in manufacturing and office environments, and it involves 3 phases of work, listed below:
1
Strategic overview
-
Identify foreseeable scenarios of evolution and change
-
Understand business drivers, strategic objectives and KPIs
-
Evaluate problems, opportunities and selecting the area for further investigation
2
On-field diagnosis
-
Visualize and evaluate the current state of processes on-field
-
Measure performance and value-added activities
-
Identify opportunities for improvement - hot spots - and ROI
3
Lean
road map
-
Confirm hot spots and potential ROI
-
Define targets, projects and achievable improvement actions
-
