LeanThe audit ends up on someone's phone
Tuesday's 5S photos are on a mobile, the checklist is on paper, and the report is still waiting to be typed up. Two weeks later, nobody knows what was actually fixed.
Continuous improvement platform
What if your action plans stopped dying in a spreadsheet?
LeanModel brings your shop-floor audits, action plans and KPIs together in one place. From the finding recorded on the line to the Obeya your management team reviews — no re-keying, no Sunday evening spent consolidating.
- Built by a Lean Manager & Black Belt
- Desktop, tablet and phone
- French, English, Spanish
- Hosted in Europe
- No minimum term
The problem
Commitment is never what's missing. Follow-through is.
Three scenes every continuous improvement manager will recognise.
The action plan lives in a spreadsheet nobody opens
One tab per department, three versions circulating by email, overdue actions nobody chases. The file exists. The programme doesn't.
The consultant left — and took the momentum
Six months of support, real results, then everything deflates. Nothing was ever put in place to keep it running without them.
How it works
From the shop floor to the boardroom, in three steps
1
Record it on the floor
Run a 5S audit or a Gemba walk from a phone or tablet: configurable checklist, photo evidence, score by area. It takes as long as the walk itself — not an extra evening.
2
Turn findings into actions
Every finding becomes an action with an owner, a due date and a status. All the site's actions land in one central action plan — no more parallel spreadsheets.
3
Steer it from the Obeya
Progress is visible in real time, to the teams and to management alike. You stop consolidating and start leading.
The modules
Your whole programme, in one place
Each module is switched on as you need it — you don't pay for what you don't use.
Lean Assessment
Measure the maturity of your programme: configurable framework, current vs target radar.
Roadmap
Your implementation path, milestone by milestone, signed off as you go.
5S audits
Configurable checklists, photos against each criterion, score by area and linked actions.
Gemba walks
Structured check points plus free-form findings with photos — which become actions.
Problem solving
A3 / PDCA format, with AI assistance to dig into root causes.
Short interval management
KPIs, targets, red/green tracking and the team rituals that go with them.
Maintenance (CMMS)
Assets, work requests and work orders, preventive schedules, spare parts and KPIs.
Capacity & staffing
FTE requirements by operation and department, over- and under-staffing flagged.
And the core that ties it together: central action plans + digital Obeya
Wherever a finding comes from, the resulting action lands in the same place and surfaces in the Obeya. That is what makes a programme last, instead of fading away the first time production gets tough.
A need that fits none of these boxes?
We build custom modules. Your organisation has its own rituals and its own metrics — the tool should bend to them, not the other way round.
And the product keeps moving
New modules are in development. Companies already on board when one ships get early access to it — an advantage reserved for founding members, on top of their price locked for life.

Who it's for
Built for mid-sized manufacturing and logistics companies
LeanModel is for you if…
- You run a manufacturing or logistics site with 50 to 500 employees.
- You have a continuous improvement programme — however young — and it is losing momentum for lack of follow-through.
- You are a continuous improvement manager, Lean Manager, EHS/quality lead or site director.
- Your audits, action plans and KPIs currently live in separate files.
It's probably too early if…
- You are looking for an ERP or MES: that isn't what we do, and we won't pretend otherwise.
- You are a large group with a multi-country rollout and a six-month procurement cycle.
- You want a tool that nobody will drive: no platform replaces an owner.
Who's behind it
Built by a practitioner, for practitioners
“I spent four years doing continuous improvement in logistics, pharmaceuticals, automotive and textiles. My spreadsheets were packed with macros, and I still spent my Sundays consolidating. LeanModel is the tool I wish I'd had on the floor — not the one a requirements document would have produced.”
Pricing
Founding member offer — 5 places
We are opening LeanModel to a first circle of companies. They get a price locked for life and hands-on support; in return, they help us mature the product on their own shop floor.
Founding member · 5 places
€149
/ month excl. VAT
Price locked for life · no minimum term
- Access to the platform and the modules you need, for your whole team
- A 2-hour one-to-one onboarding: we set up your first project together
- One group coaching session per month to keep the rhythm going
- Direct access to the founder — no ticketing system, no call centre
- Custom modules considered on a case-by-case basis
- Early access to new modules released during your subscription
- Your data exportable at any time, including if you leave
Why so inexpensive? Because you are taking a chance on a young platform. €149 a month is the price of about ninety minutes of consultancy — per month, for the whole site, all year. If it brings you nothing after two months, you stop.
Frequently asked
The objections we hear — and our answers
“We already do this in Excel, and it works.”
It's the most common objection, and a fair one. The real question isn't the tool, it's this: are your post-audit actions closed on time? Can your management see progress without someone spending a Sunday consolidating?
If the answer is yes, genuinely — keep Excel. If it's no, that gap is exactly what LeanModel fills.
“€149 a month is expensive for yet another tool.”
€149 a month is roughly ninety minutes of consultancy — per month, for the entire site, all year round. A single improvement project that actually lands because it was properly followed up pays for the whole year.
And there's no minimum term: if the platform brings you nothing, you stop.
“We don't have anyone to run it.”
The fear behind that sentence is “another tool that will die for lack of an owner”. That's precisely why the founding offer includes one-to-one onboarding — we configure your first project together — and monthly coaching to keep the rhythm.
You're not buying an empty piece of software: you're buying a programme supported by a practising Black Belt.
“Why you rather than an established platform?”
One: the tool comes from the shop floor, designed by a practising Lean Manager, not from a requirements document.
Two: large platforms take six months to roll out and a five-figure licence. Here you start now, at €149 a month.
Three: you get the founder on the phone. Try that with a major vendor.
“Where is our data hosted?”
In Europe, on OVHcloud infrastructure. Every client is isolated at database level (PostgreSQL Row Level Security): technically, one client's data cannot be reached from another client's account.
Your data stays yours: it can be exported at any time, including the day you decide to leave. We're happy to set all of this out in writing if your IT department asks.
“You're a young company. What if you stop?”
LeanModel is a young platform and we don't hide it — that is exactly what the founding price compensates for: you take a small risk, we offset it with a price locked for life and direct access.
Concretely: no minimum term, your data exportable whenever you want, and a standard technical foundation. Your real exposure is €149 and an hour of your time.
“What devices does it run on, and in which languages?”
LeanModel runs in a browser: a desktop at the office, a tablet or a phone out on the floor. Nothing to install, no updates to manage, and your teams don't need an app-store account.
The interface is available in French, English and Spanish. Each user picks their own language and the choice is remembered — useful if you run sites abroad or have multilingual teams.
“How long before we're actually up and running?”
A 10-minute demo to see whether this speaks to you. Then, if you join the founding offer, a 2-hour onboarding in which we configure your first scope — one area, one audit checklist, your first KPIs. You leave that session with something you can actually use.
A 10-minute demo beats any brochure
Show us where your programme is stuck. We'll show you, on a real case, what it would look like in LeanModel. No commitment, no pushy follow-up.
