Mapping how your processes actually operate today, identifying every gap, inefficiency and risk. Before any improvement can be designed, you need an accurate picture of the current reality. Most organisations do not have one.
Most manufacturers have documentation that describes how processes should work. Very few have documentation that describes how processes actually work. The gap between the two is usually significant and almost always where the operational problems are hiding.
Current state documentation is the foundation for every other improvement activity. Without it, you are designing future-state processes based on assumptions that may be wrong, and your risk register is missing the risks you do not know about.
Visual maps of every process step, decision point, and handoff as they actually occur, including the informal steps and workarounds that never appear in official procedures.
Every system, spreadsheet, paper form, and data source involved in the process. How data flows between them, where it is duplicated, and where it is lost.
Who does what in the process as it actually operates, including informal ownership that may differ significantly from what organisation charts suggest.
Steps that add no value, handoffs that introduce delays, checks that duplicate each other, and activities that exist only because a different problem was never fixed.
Steps that are required by regulation, certification or customer obligation but are not being reliably executed, documented or evidenced.
The informal processes your team has developed to work around broken systems, unclear procedures, or problems that management may not know exist.
