Diagnostic sprint
Waste Scan
Find the biggest losses in your operation in 5–10 days — and know what they cost.
The Waste Scan is a short, structured diagnostic. We walk the process, pull the numbers, and hand you a ranked list of losses with a baseline for each and a 90-day plan to remove the largest ones.
Who it is for
- Owners and executives who feel the loss but cannot yet measure it
- Operations under cost or delivery pressure
- Teams preparing an improvement programme and needing a fact base
What you get
- A ranked loss register with a baseline per item
- A one-page 90-day plan with owners and measures
- A management readout (45 minutes) in English or Arabic
- Raw data and workings — nothing hidden
How it works
- Scope
One session to agree the process, the metrics that matter and who we talk to.
- Observe and measure
Process walks, data pull, interviews with the people who do the work.
- Quantify
Each loss gets a number: time, cost, quality or customer impact — with its source.
- Plan
A 90-day plan: the top losses first, owners named, the measure that will prove the gain.

Questions we get
How much of our time does it take?
About 4–6 hours from the sponsor across the two weeks, and short interviews with 6–10 people who run the process.
Do you need our data in a special format?
No. Exports from your ERP, spreadsheets or even paper logs are enough; we do the cleaning.
What happens after the readout?
You can run the plan yourself, or we can lead the first Six Sigma project with your team.
Often combined with
Process X-Ray
Event-log analysis and AI-assisted pilots that show exactly where time is lost.
