Your opportunity can be identified in many different ways:

Initial Analysis

• Quick analysis - We use our experience to find opportunity where it typically resides in a manufacturing enterprise:
  • Margin Contribution
  • Cost Savings
  • Cost Avoidance
  • Cash Flow
• Value Stream Analysis (VSA) - Assess the 3 flows of the organization:
  • Business processes (order to cash)
  • Design processes (concept to launch)
  • Manufacturing processes (raw materials to finished goods)
• Hoshin Kanri – Establish a comprehensive strategic improvement plan
  • Leadership alignment
  • Team building
  • Define true north (ideal state)
  • Gap analysis
  • Execution planning
  • Create a cadence of accountability through check, reflect, and adjust
• Self-determined – you have already identified the opportunity; we help you achieve it
