Lean Six Sigma Diagnostic Toolkit
A guided self-diagnostic that maps your top processes, scores the eight wastes, and produces a prioritized improvement roadmap with ROI math — in a week, not a quarter.
The pain
SMB operations leaders know their processes are inefficient but do not know where to start, cannot justify a $50K consulting engagement, and lack a black belt on staff. They end up doing nothing — or buying process-mining software they cannot operate.
What gets built
- Guided process inventory wizard (department × value stream × process type)
- SIPOC and value stream map templates with cycle-time and defect-rate capture
- Eight-wastes scoring rubric (TIMWOODS) with weighted impact scoring
- ROI calculator: hours saved × loaded labor rate × frequency, with payback period
- Prioritization matrix: impact vs. effort, with quick-win identification
- Output: a 10–15 page improvement roadmap PDF with specific Kaizen events scoped
Stack
- Python + Pandas + Plotly
- Streamlit (interactive)
- Pandoc (PDF export, v0.2)
Pricing
Fixed-fee $4,500 "Process Health Check" — converts ~30% to $25K–$60K Kaizen engagements
Effort to ship
2–3 weeks for v1 — lowest-effort MVP in the pack
