Description
A Value Stream or Workflow analysis is used by businesses to understand in a very deep way the processes they follow, which ones contribute to expense-optimized timing and delivery of products and services. Very often after these exercises, Clients find process improvement opportunities that result in time or financial cost-avoidance or savings. (Limited to one business process to be examined per engagement.)
SCOPE:
- Consultant will interview Client contacts to understand how Client proceeds from raw material/resource input to finished product, with what required resources, and in what sequence(s).

- Consultant will offer recommendations about optimization potential based on results and possibilities of the Value Stream analysis and other elements of understanding the business process, timing, and resources required.

DELIVERABLES/OUTPUTS:
