Lean

Lean manufacturing software that connects the toolkit to the P&L

Most lean programmes stall because the tools live in separate files and the savings are never proven. DO.Impact puts value stream maps, A3s, 8Ds, gemba walks and daily management in one system, then links every improvement to a tracked financial benefit.

The demo opens a read-only manufacturer workspace with your email — no password, no card.

Problem solving with real structure

Start where the problem is. A red day on a daily board can become a 3C in seconds, an A3 when it needs analysis, or a full 8D when a customer is involved. Each keeps its own lifecycle — open, edit, archive, delete — and stays linked to the source.

  • 3C for quick containment and countermeasures
  • A3 reports with AI-assisted drafting
  • 8D with the full D0–D8 discipline editor
  • Guided toolkit: theory of constraints, systems thinking, journey mapping

Value stream mapping you can edit and share

Build current and future state maps with drag and drop, capture cycle times and inventory, and keep the map beside the daily boards that measure whether the future state actually happened.

  • Drag-and-drop VSM builder
  • Shop floor flow view for line-level layout
  • Linked improvement actions with owners and dates

Daily management as the engine

Lean lives or dies on the daily routine. SQDP boards, Short Interval Control and gemba walks keep the cadence, while the red-cause Pareto tells you which problems are worth an A3 this month.

  • Daily boards per value stream with consolidated rollup
  • Hour-by-hour tracking with standard loss codes
  • Gemba walk capture with history

Proof, not anecdotes

Every lever carries monthly targets, leading and lagging KPIs and a realisation percentage. The waterfall shows gross and risk-adjusted impact, and the board report pulls exactly what is visible on screen — including deltas.

  • 36-month benefit tracking, plan versus actual
  • Risk-adjusted and delta views in the waterfall
  • Portfolio rollup across sites and companies

Frequently asked questions

What does lean manufacturing software do?

It digitises the lean toolkit — value stream maps, A3 and 8D problem solving, daily management boards, gemba walks and standard work — and connects the results so improvement effort is visible and measurable rather than trapped in binders.

Which lean tools are included?

Value stream mapping, A3 reports, 8D discipline (D0–D8), 3C escalations, daily SQDP management, gemba walks, loss Pareto analysis, Hoshin Kanri strategy deployment, and a guided problem-solving toolkit covering theory of constraints and systems thinking.

Do we need a lean background to use it?

No. Each tool ships with structure, prompts and worked examples, and the problem-solving toolkit enforces a phased sequence so teams cannot jump to solutions before the problem is understood.

How do we prove the savings?

Every improvement can be linked to a value lever with monthly plan-versus-actual benefit tracking over 36 months, rolled up into a waterfall that finance can review.
