Make the current state visible
Map the material or information flow, demand, queues, processing steps, and handoffs with the people closest to the work.
COMMERCIAL SERVICES / CONSULTING + OPERATIONS
Design flow across the handoffs.
Local improvements can leave end-to-end lead time unchanged. A value stream workshop brings the people who move the work together around one current-state view.

01 / WHAT THE PRODUCT DELIVERS
Value Stream Mapping + Lean Workshop
Map the current process and design a practical future state.
- 01
A workshop brief and data request
- 02
A current-state value stream map
- 03
A future-state map with design assumptions
- 04
A prioritized action plan and review cadence
02 / THE WORKING METHODBuilt to create
Built to create
a useful change.
A learning milestone is attached to each future-state assumption, so the map becomes a testable operating plan rather than a poster.
Challenge the waiting
Examine delays, batching, variation, and decision loops. Distinguish necessary controls from avoidable friction.
Design the future state
Agree a target flow and a sequenced action plan with owners, dependencies, and learning milestones.
03 / SCOPE BEFORE PRICEThree levels.
Three levels.
One clearly defined brief.
The rate-card scope factors are shown below. Client complexity is applied separately.
Focused scope
One workshop project mapping one defined value stream with one cross-functional working group.
Expanded scope
One workshop project covering a wider process family, more handoffs, and expanded future-state planning.
Complex scope
One workshop project spanning multiple sites or complex service streams with stakeholder alignment and a staged transformation roadmap.
04 / TUNE THE BRIEFSee how the scope

A planning range using the same rate card as the full DOC N.I.L. calculator.
05 / THE ACCEPTANCE GATEKnow what good
Know what good
looks like.
Track agreed flow measures such as end-to-end lead time and work waiting between steps, with consistent start and finish definitions.
ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATION / NOT A CLIENT RESULT
Illustrative engagement
An order-to-delivery team maps information queues that continue even when production itself runs to schedule.
06 / PRICE GUARDSProtect the scope.

Outside this product unless agreed.
- Plant layout engineering or capital project design
- Full implementation of the future state
- Guaranteed lead-time reductions
No hidden expansion.
The proposal confirms quantities, review rounds, locations, versions, and the service period. Additional work receives a written change scope before it starts.
8% G&A is additional. Third-party costs and applicable tax are confirmed separately. Estimates are planning ranges, not a booking or a guarantee of results.
Before we begin.
Is this only for manufacturing?
No. The same flow principles can be applied to service delivery, approvals, onboarding, and other information-heavy work.
What happens after the workshop?
The project delivers an owned action plan. Follow-through facilitation or implementation leadership is a separate scoped option.
07 / CONNECTED PRODUCTS
Build the next part.
Separate products. Connected when the brief calls for them.
