Methodology

How it works

A clear methodology: from the floor to measured value. No black boxes, no consulting theater.

DMAIC Methodology

Control

Step 1 — Gemba Walk
Capture reality
Go to the actual place where work happens. Capture observations, constraints, and waste with structure—not guesswork.
Step 2 — Analysis
Identify waste
Use Gemba data and process knowledge to identify delay, overproduction, rework, and other sources of waste.
Step 3 — Value stream
Map current state
Build a value stream map that reflects reality. Link it to the data and observations from the floor.
Step 4 — Target state
Design future state
Define the future state with clear gaps and actions. Assign owners and timelines so it's executable.
Step 5 — Implementation
Execute projects
Run improvement projects with full visibility. Track progress, blockers, and completion against the plan.
Step 6 — ROI
Measure financial impact
Measure cycle time, cost, and throughput. Tie results to P&L so value is proven, not assumed.
