The Department is seeking an experienced Lean consultant to assist us with our Business Transformation efforts related to increasing our ability to use the Lean principles within our organization and the associated training. To kick-off the implementation of our BTI, the DEC would like to complete a pilot Value Stream Mapping Analysis event. Currently, we have several candidate processes and would look to the selected consultant to help us choose the process which best fits our initial goals of conducting a Lean event. Further, we would like to create a plan that will result in implementing the outcome in a relative short time frame to achieve measurable results (ideally within 6 months or less). There are three separate tasks we are soliciting through this RFP: (1) Project Planning Assistance; (2) Introductory Lean training; and (3) Value Stream Mapping Analysis. Each bid proposal must include a separate discussion and budget line item for each of these three tasks.
