Our methodology

From assessment to measurable performance

Behind every BAIT result, a simple logic: we measure before deciding.

Four stages, one virtuous loop

From the first site visit to the monthly review, every stage has a clear deliverable. You always know where you stand — and above all why.

01

Assessment

We go on site, we measure and we listen to your teams. VSM, audits and gemba walks produce an honest picture of your processes.

02

Prioritized roadmap

Every action is ranked by impact vs effort and aligned with your objectives. You decide, we execute in order of best return.

03

Implementation

Agile sprint-based deployment: process change, ERP/IoT/LIMS, training and change management. A visible result at every iteration.

04

Continuous improvement

Living dashboards, coaching of internal relays and 8D at the first deviation. Gains last over time, not just on day one.

DMAIC: five letters, zero guesswork

Define, measure, analyze, improve, control. A structure your teams recognize and keep applying after we leave.

D
Define
Define the project, charter, objectives and scope.
M
Measure
Collect real data and establish the baseline.
A
Analyze
Identify root causes (5 Whys, Ishikawa) with the right method.
I
Improve
Deploy Lean, digital and automated solutions.
C
Control
Anchor the gains: standards, dashboards, audits.

The right tools, at the right time

No passing fads: we choose the tool based on your problem, never the reverse. Here are the ones we deploy most often.

5S

Organize, clean and standardize workstations for an environment that surfaces the anomaly.

SMED

Reduce changeover times to gain flexibility without heavy investment.

VSM

Map material and information flows to see waste, not just the symptom.

8D

Structured problem-solving in eight disciplines, with evidence and lasting preventive actions.

PDCA

Plan, test, measure, adjust: the improvement loop that keeps your teams moving.

Kaizen

Continuous improvement in small steps, carried by the people who do the job every day.

Start with an honest assessment.

The first step is free and without commitment. You leave with a snapshot of your performance gains — and a prioritized action plan.
