Problem

Lean teams needed a repeatable way to run work-observation and line-balance studies without paper forms.

Responsibilities

• Mapped workflow input to Lean study requirements and on-the-floor usability.
• Led the UI/UX direction for the full Lean work-observation platform.
• Designed the setup flow that starts a new project and defines the process context.
• Created reusable patterns for dense forms, tables, and step-driven workflows.

Workflow Foundation

• Led the UI/UX direction for the full Lean work-observation platform.
• Designed the setup flow that starts a new project and defines the process context.
• Created reusable patterns for dense forms, tables, and step-driven workflows.

Observation and Analysis

• Structured the experience around work observation, line balance, and cycle-time comparison.
• Designed views that made manual, machine, and walking time easier to scan.
• Kept the data-heavy screens readable enough for quick review in the field or office.

Training and Legacy

• Used training and SOP material to connect the software to the Lean methodology.
• Kept older manual views in the product story so teams could compare the new system to the previous workflow.
• Designed iterative updates that could evolve without breaking the main study flow.

Impact

• Replaced paper-heavy documentation with a guided digital sequence that teams could reuse.
• Made work observation and line-balance studies easier to repeat, compare, and review consistently.
• Gave teams a clearer path from observation to improvement action items.
