Lean Process Improvement

AGILEAN's 4D Performance™ methodology guides, manages, and innovates complex business and IT projects.  Our Lean Process Improvement Service, 4D Lean™, applies a  four dimensional perspective to optimize the four critical flows of any complex process:

• Responsibility - Understand the flow of responsibility to determine the next most important thing to do
• Work - Understand the flow of work to determine how every action adds value to stakeholders
• Information - Understand the flow of information to determine what information is needed at what time in what format
• Progress - Continuously optimize the complex interactions that flow between people, processes, and systems

A Lean process improvement project increases the amount of customer value created; while eliminating waste or non-value added activities. Lean optimizes the flow of value creating activities and increases profit, cash flow, quality, competitiveness, and customer and employee satisfaction.

AGILEAN's Strategy Deployment Service may be used to help guide alignment and prioritization of project outcomes and activities.  AGILEAN's Agile Project Management Service may be used to manage a Lean process improvement project.
