Kaizen-Ready Value Stream Maps

Rapidly clarify processes in 2–3 weeks

Start with a structured intake, then observe operations on-site (gemba). Validate the facts—cycle time, rework, wait queues—and apply Kaizen-based value-stream mapping to expose waste and produce a tailored improvement roadmap.

Our hybrid model blends remote collaboration with on-site engagement. It scales up or down as needed, with pricing aligned to scope and measurable results.

Why it works

  • Objective insight: decisions grounded in direct observation and data.

  • Stakeholder buy-in: early alignment accelerates adoption.

  • High-value outcomes: clear, actionable improvements.

Advisory retainer
A monthly retainer is available with priority response and dedicated hours (remote and/or in-person). Terms are flexible to maximize ROI and are set to scope and availability.

Turnaround & Transaction Support

Secure deals with operational precision

Partner with PE firms, owners, and lead advisors to stabilize operations, unlock value, and de-risk transactions. Our role is intentionally complementary—augmenting primary advisors and TSA teams, not replacing them.

We deliver operational fixes, diligence support, and post-close integration using kaizen-driven diagnostics and practical change management—for speed, precision, and reduced risk.

Why it works

  • integrated support: operates seamlessly under lead advisors and TSA

  • execution focused: built for timelines and measurable outcomes

  • protected value: reduces risk leakage and accelerates value capture

Advisory retainer
A monthly retainer is available with priority response and dedicated hours (remote and/or in-person). Terms are flexible to maximize ROI and are set to scope and availability. Structured retainers can cover diligence through closing, with tiered responsiveness up to 24/7. Standard advisory starts at $3,000/month (11 hours, 48-hour response), with escalation options mirroring primary-advisor availability.
