TSD is expert at mapping clients’ production processes, uncovering critical and often hidden obstacles to the value stream. We combine this mapping with the use of proprietary assessment tools to create concise and understandable analyses and proposed solutions. Our
approach is time-tested and effective and it along with our assessment tools, have been adopted by the US Air Force as their standard best practice.
Our Current State Map captures the flow of actual operational data as reflected in material, information and time. This defines the baseline and aides TSD and its clients in developing a
collective future vision of how to operate under the principles of lean. This "visionary" Future State Map defines projected changes and provides guidance.
In addition to our mapping services, TSD specializes in designing comprehensive lean-based production systems for both large and small-scale implementation efforts. Our strategists have successfully designed lean systems for a wide range of product and service environments, from large multi-site organizations to small, single-site facilities; each one expertly tailoring lean principles and methods to the client's unique production needs. And each cohesive system is implemented with a controlled and detailed plan that includes recognized milestones, established metrics, and a focus upon both short and long-term goals.
