LEAN.STUDIO
Lean Studio

Process tools for lean manufacturing

A focused suite for time study, mapping, simulation, and quality analysis — plus open-source helpers for video and PDF. Local-first. Built for the coal face and the 30,000 ft view.

Suite

Core applications

Commercial tools for measurement, mapping, simulation, and stats. Use them standalone or as one workflow.

Available

LS.TimeStudy

Work measurement & cycle time analysis

Capture and analyse industrial cycle times and work elements on the shop floor. Build standardised work from real observation data.

  • Element time capture
  • Rating & allowances
  • Standardised work sheets
  • Syncs with LS.Video timelines
In development

LS.Mapper

Value stream & process mapping

Map current and future-state value streams. Lead-time ladders, inventory, and kaizen bursts in a clean workbench.

  • Current / future state VSM
  • Takt & lead-time ladders
  • Kaizen burst tracking
  • Export-ready diagrams
In development

LS.Sim

Discrete-event process simulation

Model lines and cells before you change them. Spot bottlenecks, test buffers, and validate improvements.

  • Discrete-event engine
  • Throughput & queue models
  • What-if scenarios
  • Sits between TimeStudy and Mapper
In development

LS.Stats

Quality stats & Gage R&R

Capability, distributions, Gage R&R, and control charts for lean and Six Sigma quality work.

  • Capability (Cp, Cpk…)
  • Gage R&R
  • Histograms & probability plots
  • Control charts

Connected workflow
