Lean Health Assessments
Diagnose operational inefficiencies. Discover hidden potential.
At E-Lean Consulting, our Lean Health Assessments help organizations benchmark their operational performance, uncover inefficiencies, and prioritize improvement areas. Using Lean principles and proven diagnostic tools, we deliver actionable insights and a clear roadmap to enhance flow, productivity, and customer value.
What Is a Lean Health Assessment?
A Lean Health Assessment is a structured evaluation of your organization’s current processes, culture, and performance — measured against Lean best practices. It identifies gaps, strengths, and opportunities across key dimensions
such as:
-
Process efficiency & flow
-
Waste (muda, mura, muri)
-
Visual management & daily control
-
Team engagement & problem-solving
-
Leadership behavior & standardization
This is the first step toward sustainable Lean transformation.
Our Approach
We use a practical, collaborative assessment model — tailored to your industry and maturity level.
1. Pre-Assessment Discovery
We gather data on your goals, structure, and value streams to tailor the assessment scope.
2. On-Site or Remote Observation
Our experts visit gemba (where the work happens), observe processes, and interact with teams to understand flow, roles, and challenges.
3. Lean Health Scorecard
We evaluate performance across 8–10 Lean dimensions, assigning a maturity rating for each (e.g., 1–5 scale).
4. Findings & Prioritized Roadmap
We present an executive summary with improvement recommendations, quick wins, and longer-term opportunities — aligned with business goals.
5. Optional Deep Dives
Based on assessment results, we can conduct focused workshops on root causes, value stream mapping, or process redesign.
