Kaizen-Ready Value Stream Maps

$11,500.00

Rapidly clarify processes in 2–3 weeks.

Pinpoint priorities with a structured intake, then observe operations on-site (Gemba), validate data, and apply Kaizen-based process mapping to expose inefficiencies and deliver a tailored improvement roadmap.

Our hybrid model blends remote collaboration with on-site engagement and can be scaled up or down, with pricing matched to scope and results.

Why it works:

  • Objective Insight: Grounded in observation and data.

  • Stakeholder Buy-in: Early alignment drives faster adoption.

  • High-Value Outcomes: Clear, actionable improvements.

Advisory Retainer: $3,000/month for 11 hours of senior support with a 48-hour response time—priority access at a preferred rate ($270/hour).

Additional Information

Our Kaizen-Ready VSM can be extended to sub-process Value Stream Mapping when deeper granularity is required. Examining critical sub-processes helps reveal hidden bottlenecks, defects, processing constraints, and handoff issuesthat may not surface in the high-level map.

The right level of granularity ensures:

  • Accurate stakeholder identification—engaging those who truly influence flow.

  • Precise Kaizen scoping—defining improvement events where they will matter most.

  • Prioritization with purpose—ranking opportunities by KPI impact and ease of execution, so teams focus on initiatives that deliver meaningful results quickly.

This approach enables your organization to move beyond broad observations to data-backed, actionable improvementsthat align with strategic business goals.
