JJ Flow Map · free
Your flow map in 3 steps
A guided Current State Value Stream Map of one flow in your business. Start with what you know. Leave the rest unknown.
- 01
Describe one flow
Start and end points, steps, and the numbers you know.
- 02
Confirm your email
Your map is delivered there.
- 03
Read your current state
A map, honest subtotals, and questions worth checking.

- Manual information
- Electronic information
- Push (work sent on, not pulled)
- Work waiting (WIP)
- Largest known wait
- ? = unknown, kept as unknown
- Known work time
- 3 h 35 min + 1 unknown
- Known waiting
- 13 days + 4 h
- Largest known wait
- Repair → Invoice / payment · 7 days
Fictional example: sample data, not a benchmark. Brightline is not a real client; all numbers are estimates.
What you get
- A current-state map of one flow: steps, people and waits
- Honest subtotals: only what you entered, with unknowns kept as unknown
- The largest known wait in the flow
- A short list of questions to check before changing anything
What it is not
- Not an ROI estimate
- Not a future-state design or a plan
- Not a validated study of your operation
- Not a promise of results
A clearer picture of today. Not a promise of results.

How consulting works
When the map shows the problem, we size the fix together.
Consulting and mentoring in four fronts. Scope, timeline and measurable targets are defined in writing after the map review, before any work begins.
- S-01
Flow & capacity
Find the bottleneck, raise capacity and remove waste without cutting capability, with the numbers to show it.

Lean Six Sigma
Root cause, standard work and control charts, so the gains hold after the project.
Map this flow first → - S-03
AI where it pays off
Map repetitive workflows and decision points, then put AI agents, scheduling or decision support only on the ones that are ready.
Map this flow first → - S-04
Mentoring & training
Lean Six Sigma and problem-solving mentoring for owners, managers and teams. 500+ professionals trained since 2012.

Remote and asynchronous. Live sessions are scheduled outside business hours (evenings and weekends, US Eastern).
Methodology
The 8-Step Problem-Solving Method
A framework that combines Lean Six Sigma and queuing theory. Each step has a clear output before the next one starts, and targets are set in writing at step 3.

Results
Measured, not promised
Within 3 months, we improved our capacity by 35%. His systematic approach to identifying bottlenecks and implementing AI-powered solutions saved us thousands of dollars and time on tasks inside our office.
Working with JJ Andrade was a game-changer for our production line. His integration of digital technologies and Lean principles reduced our defect rate from 8.5% to 1.2% and increased overall equipment effectiveness by 42%. The AI-driven predictive maintenance system he implemented prevented 15 potential equipment failures, saving us over $850K in downtime costs.

About
Engineer first. Then data, method and code.
JJ Andrade started in production mechanical engineering, then completed a Six Sigma post-graduate specialization (Black Belt), an MBA in Business Management, and HarvardX (edX) certificates in Data Science: Probability and Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies.
He has applied these frameworks hands-on since 2012, trained 500+ professionals in Lean Six Sigma and problem solving, published two books, and built WeCazza, a software platform for home service teams.
FAQ
Common questions
What is the JJ Flow Map?
A free, guided Current State Value Stream Map of one flow in your business: the steps, the waits between them and honest subtotals. You enter what you know and mark the rest as unknown.
Is it a promise of results or an ROI estimate?
No. It is a clearer picture of today. It does not estimate ROI, design a future state or replace a validated study of your operation.
What does the US$ 97 review include?
JJ reads your map, checks the numbers and tells you where to measure first. The full US$ 97 is credited if you hire consulting or mentoring. A call is scheduled only after the review.
How does an engagement work?
Free flow map, then the optional map review, then a scope in writing and a structured plan using the 8-Step Method, implemented with your team.
Do you work on-site?
Work is remote and asynchronous. Live sessions are scheduled outside business hours, in the evening or on weekends (US Eastern).
Which industries do you work with?
Manufacturing, logistics, professional services, SaaS and home services. The methods apply wherever there are processes, queues and measurable outcomes.
How fast will we see results?
Each case is different. Across client projects, capacity gains have averaged 35% or more, and in one case capacity rose 35% within three months. Targets are set in writing after the map review.
Do you use AI for everything?
No. AI is used where it adds real value, not for every problem.
