Process analysis
and value mapping

Value Stream Mapping (VSM)
& Swimlane

Often poor visibility into actual flows and operational processes makes it difficult to understand where delays, waste, or waste arise. Without proper tools, it is not possible to identify the operational steps that slow down the entire chain, nor to clearly distinguish activities that bring value from those that consume resources unnecessarily.

The process mapping we propose at Widecons® is a practical and focused analysis, a real decision-making tool.

For an SME, it is the first strategic step toward operational efficiency and long-term competitiveness.

BENEFITS.

– Clear visualization of inefficiencies, even when they are distributed along complex processes;

– solid basis for subsequent Lean interventions, such as continuous improvement or digitization;

– Objective support for investment decisions and intervention priorities;

– Cross-staff involvement and building full collaboration among departments.

How we operate

Visualize “where we are” to understand “what is not working” and identify with hard data “where we can improve.”

We also quantify recoveries in technical (time, waste, space) and economic (€) terms, providing a solid basis for future decisions.

Widecons® tools.

Lean tools are well known, but what makes the difference is how they are applied in the operational reality of an SME. Widecons® long experience in the field ensures that each tool becomes concrete, measurable and effective, adapted to the resources and constraints of the enterprise:

– Value Stream Mapping (VSM): not just a flow map, but a tailored operational snapshot of your business, making waste immediately visible and indicating priorities for action;

– Swimlane Diagram: we simplify complex processes by organizing flows into intuitive functional lanes that facilitate collaboration between departments;

– Gemba Walk: not a generic visit to production, but an observation guided by our consultants to bring out real bottlenecks and critical issues;

– Spaghetti Chart: we apply it pragmatically, to highlight wasteful handling and quickly propose leaner layout solutions;

– operational training and Lean coaching: not just theory, but direct shadowing during mapping, to ingrain Lean tools and mindset in the teams involved from the start.

We implement solutions for saving energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and industrial waste, thereby increasing environmental sustainability and competitiveness of SMEs

Lean flow
& visual management

Many SMEs find themselves managing slow and disorganized flows, with planning that is complex, unclear and often disconnected from actual demand. This leads to delays, overproduction or lack of materials at critical times.

From visual management to the introduction of advanced pull systems, every step is geared toward bringing tangible and measurable value to your production reality.

BENEFITS.

– Speeding up flows;

– Simplification of planning, even in high variability contexts;

– Abatement of intermediate stocks and reduction of obsolete materials;

– greater control;

– Production synchronized with demand.

How we operate

The lack of visual tools makes it difficult to have an overview, the absence of a structured method slows down decision making and complicates adaptation to change.

Widecons® modular services adapt to a company’s operational maturity and can be applied individually or as part of a phased evolutionary path.

Widecons® tools.

Lean tools for flow and visual management are well known and established, but they often remain on paper or partially applied. Widecons® brings them into the operational reality of the SME, adapting them to the specific context and accompanying staff in their daily use. Our experience in the field enables us to transform cards, whiteboards and signs into a common language that guides operational decisions, accelerates flows and makes planning truly effective.

– Kanban: Widecons® realizes Kanban logics in a practical and stable system that harmoniously regulates production and supplies by drastically reducing stocks and bottlenecks;

– Supermarket: we create buffer areas calibrated to your actual consumption, ensuring available materials without immobilizing capital;

– Pull planning and Just in Time logistics: we implement flows that truly respond to real demand, eliminating inflated planning and waste;

– Takt Time: Widecons® helps you measure and monitor production pace, balancing loads and aligning production with the market

– Visual Board: from physical whiteboards to digital screens, Widecons® build visual systems with key information (activities, progress, problems, goals, indicators) that become the team’s real-time communication and decision-making center;

– Micro-coaching on-the-job: we transfer Lean methods directly to people, with simulations and immediate feedback, for lasting results on their own.

Lean standard
& rapid setup

Many SMEs suffer from long and variable tooling steps, which slow production, increase errors and make it difficult to handle small batches or frequent format changes.

With Widecons® solutions, you will increase competitiveness, reduce costs and better serve customers without accumulating inventory.

BENEFITS.

– Quick, safe and repeatable setups;

– Drastic reduction of errors and downtime;

– More flexibility and less inventory;

– Clean, orderly and sustainable environments;

– less waste, more time available to produce.

How we operate

The lack of a clear operating sequence and standardized procedures makes every tooling different, increasing the risk of errors, unplanned stoppages and production inefficiencies.

In production settings with high variety and low-to-medium volume, speed and reliability of changeover become key levers to increase competitiveness, reduce costs and better serve customers without stockpiling, the goals you achieve with Widecons® solutions.

Widecons® tools.

Lean tools are well known, but Widecons® really operationalizes them in the field: they become concrete, measurable ways of working that free up productive capacity and prepare for digital and green evolution:

– 5S: not just order, but visual standards that reduce waste, unnecessary searches and daily errors;

– SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die): Widecons® turns the method into concrete practice, cutting setup time with clear and replicable steps;

– QCO (Quick Change Over): faster and safer setups through practical solutions (manual or automated) calibrated to your plant;

– TPM (Total Productive Maintenance): operators and plants always ready, with autonomous maintenance preventing downtime and unplanned events;

– Poka-Yoke (a-proof-of-error): simple, practical, low-cost expedients that eliminate errors at the source;

– Operational coaching: the team learns by doing, with role play and direct shadowing in the field.

Problem solving
Lean

Many SMEs live with chronic inefficiencies and errors that are repeated over time, generating waste, delays and systematic cost overruns. In most cases, only the symptoms are acted upon, never solving the root causes. Without a clear and shared method, any solution becomes temporary and fragile, and problems resurface punctually, undermining productivity and internal trust.

Widecons® Lean Problem Solving is different: not theory, but concrete action in the field.

BENEFITS.

– Systematic, root cause elimination of recurring problems (downtime, defects, delays, rework);

– Increased reliability of processes, facilities and deliveries;

– Abatement of waste and non-quality costs;

– Spreading a solid culture of continuous improvement and shared responsibility.

How we operate

We start with real problems that impact time, quality, and cost, and guide teams toward stable, measurable, and sustainable solutions.

It is ideal for SMEs that want to turn critical issues into opportunities for operational and cultural growth.

Thus, companies turn critical issues into levers of operational and cultural growth, freeing up energy to reinvest in digital and green projects.

Widecons® tools.

Widecons® makes Lean tools concrete and applicable in the field, so they become clear and measurable ways of working, capable of rooting continuous improvement and creating the basis for more robust Digital and Green projects.

– A3 Lean: structured format to analyze the problem, define objectives, identify countermeasures, and monitor results;

– Fishbone Diagram or Ishikawa Diagram (Cause-and-effect or “fishbone” diagram):
visual tool for systematically identifying potential causes (e.g., method, machine, material, labor, environment, measurement);

– GAV (Management in View): makes standards, anomalies and process status immediately visible. It is a key support in timely resolution of recurring problems, facilitates transparent monitoring of countermeasures rapid communication between teams;

– Toyota Kata: guides to controlled, small-step experimentation, develops a mindset oriented toward resolving the root cause, not superficial solutions;

– Poka-Yoke (a-proof-of-error): simple, low-cost solutions to prevent defects and simplify processes (e.g., guide inserts, sensors, unique attachments);

– hands-on training and Lean coaching: to make key users capable of solving problems on their own and passing on skills to the entire organization.

Lean people
& culture of improvement

Many companies struggle to make lasting and continuous improvements because people are not truly involved in change processes: they feel excluded, unaccountable, or simply do not see a reason to change. Without a participatory and shared culture, even the best Lean, Green or Digital solutions risk not taking root.

Widecons® helps companies overcome this obstacle by building a strong and lasting culture of continuous improvement.

BENEFITS.

– Maximum involvement of people at all levels of the organization;

– greater number of spontaneous ideas and proposals for improvement;

– stable, cross-cultural change that strengthens every Lean, Digital and Green project;

– Proactive participation, continuous and sustainable growth;

– activation of internal energies, the culture of improvement remains alive beyond the individual project.

How we operate

Our extensive experience in the field shows that direct involvement of people is the key factor in making Lean projects effective and creating the base on which future Digital and Green transformations will naturally graft.

Through practical methods and operational coaching, we transform individual motivation into collective energy that becomes the assets of the enterprise.

Widecons® tools.

With Widecons® practical experience, Lean tools become effective, measurable and concrete.

– Kaizen Blitz: we activate participatory workshops that stimulate everyone’s daily input, turning small improvements into steady progress;

– operational coaching: our coaches work directly in the field with people, developing Lean skills and behaviors that reinforce a culture of continuous improvement;

– stand-up meetings: short and structured, they guide teams to share goals, anomalies, daily priorities, and solutions in real time;

Simplification
and streamlined working methods

In SMEs, daily work often relies on undocumented practices or overly complex and bureaucratic procedures. This generates confusion, errors and variable results, making it difficult to maintain consistent quality, slowing down activities and hindering the training of new workers.

In SMEs, where flexibility is vital, Widecons® ensures continuity, quality and sustainable growth.

BENEFITS.

– Simplifying and reducing the variability of activities;

– less operational errors and ambiguities;

– procedures integrated into daily work: more quality, efficiency and safety by keeping processes agile and flexible;

– Rapid transfer of skills among practitioners;

– Ensuring traceability and control in critical processes.

How we operate

Lack of standardization generates waste and inefficiency, slows down processes and complicates the transfer of skills between people.

Widecons® solves these critical issues with simple, visual and digitized working methods. Agile procedures that make activities clearer, faster and more reliable, even with limited resources and changing staff.

Widecons® tools.

Lean tools, taken individually, have limited impact. The real difference arises when they are applied with method, experience and integrated vision. Widecons® understands the dynamics of SMEs and knows how to synergize Lean tools with digital opportunities and green logic, turning them into powerful levers of competitiveness and sustainable growth.

– Standard Work: documented optimal operational sequence with clear timelines, roles and checkpoints;

– visual checklists: step-by-step guides with essential text and visual aids (icons, photos, colors, symbols). Widecons® also digitizes them and makes them available on AR devices;

– digitized (SOP) procedures and instructions (WIS) & Visual Standard: clear, visual, always accessible on PC or tablet, perfect even for new operators. Essential for ensuring consistency and reducing errors;

– Process Mapping & Spaghetti Chart: visual analysis of physical and information flows to simplify steps, eliminate redundancies, and optimize layout;

– Quality Management System documentation, and/or other management systems: integrated into processes;

– Practical coaching in departments with real examples: to transfer Lean methodologies directly to the field.

KPI Lean
and digital visual management

Many SMEs have a lot of data available, but little use for it: it is scattered, incomplete, or hard to read. As a result, they lack clear and timely indicators to monitor progress, making it difficult to make quick, evidence-based decisions. Managers operate without a clear view of priorities or critical issues, with the risk of intervening too late or ineffectively.

With Widecons® Lean, even SMEs with limited resources can keep track of what really matters and make quick, well-founded decisions, improving every day.

BENEFITS.

– Timely and real-time monitoring of operational performance;

– Direct involvement from department heads, technicians and operators;

– Quick decisions based on data, not perceptions;

– Maximum responsiveness in handling rejects, stoppages and delays.

How we operate

The lack of visual and accessible tools complicates the daily work of department heads, technicians and managers, slowing down continuous improvement.

Widecons® designs dashboards and visualization tools together with the client that, through a combined approach between classical methodologies and digital applications, ensure real-time and continuously updated measurements.

Widecons® tools.

The tools offered by Widecons® are particularly effective because they are applied with field experience and integrated Lean – Digital – Green:

– KPI Tree: tree of Lean indicators (OEE, Lead time/Takt Time, % waste, service level) with clear hierarchy and correlations;

– Digital dashboards (realtime or daily): automatically updated data, graphs and KPI trends displayed on monitors, tablets and PCs with clear and intuitive visual coding (green/yellow/red);

– visual PDCA plans: simple and immediate graphic representations to guide the four phases of the continuous improvement cycle(Plan-Do-Check-Act);

– Takt Board: a visual tool (physical or digital) that represents the progress of the work in relation to the required pace (Takt Time);

– Heatmap: quickly identifies critical issues, areas of underperformance or negative trends through color visualization (usually with increasing intensity: green → red);

– Automatic alerts with escalation: notifications that automatically alert when critical thresholds are exceeded, for timely action;

– field training and hands-on Lean coaching: direct support in the department to make KPIs living tools used every day.
