kyro Insights: A Look Into Our All-in-One Tool for Operational Excellence

kyro is THE all-in-one tool for sustainable process optimization and continuous performance improvement in businesses. The tool integrates all essential methods, from process analysis to the implementation of optimization measures. In this blog post, we provide you with the most important insights into the tool. 

kyro helps you identify problems faster, solve them more efficiently, and implement improvements sustainably. The tool enables digital process optimization and problem-solving without technical barriers, integrating methods like process analysis and structured problem-solving (Root Cause Problem Solving) through a digital A3 report. All components of kyro work together seamlessly to ensure smooth analysis and problem-solving. 

Digital Analysis and Problem-Solving – The Main Features of kyro

Processes and problems are captured through Value Stream Mapping (VSM). The identified problems are transferred to the “Open Challenge List” and resolved using the digital A3 through Root Cause Problem Solving. The defined measures are implemented via individual tasks. 

Supporting Elements in kyro 

The process house provides an overview of all processes within the company. In the organizational chart, all recorded team members are clearly displayed. Using the skill-coaching matrix, you can see how well individual employees master a process. Based on this, a coaching plan is created. The management reporting shows the status of individual measures and the quantified savings potential.

An Intuitive Dashboard Helps you Quickly Navigate the Software


Depending on your position in the organizational chart, you’ll see more or fewer items on the dashboard. A team member sees less than a workshop leader. 

Easy Value Stream Mapping Enables Intuitive and Simple Process Analysis for Both Production and Administration

Under “VSM,” you can capture a value stream analysis: 

  • Intuitive mapping using drag and drop, with no need for notations or specialized knowledge. 
  • Automatic process time calculations help you quickly identify bottlenecks and optimization potential. 
  • Mark issues with “Kaizen” flashes, which are automatically transferred via the Open Challenge List (OCL) into a digital A3 report. 

In kyro, you can not only capture value stream mappings but also create SIPOCs and swimlanes. 

In kyro, Each Problem in the Open Challenge List (OCL) Is Directly Connected to an A3 Report, Offering All the Advantages of a Digital Solutionand More 

All your company’s problems are consolidated in one place. 

  • Already aware of the problems? Simply record them in the OCL or take a photo of the issue (e.g., in production). 
  • Not aware of the problems? Create a VSM for the process and systematically work through the issues. 

The “OCL – Open Challenge List” includes all unresolved problems, prioritized by potential or implementation speed, and provides for each problem: 

  • A digital A3 report to describe the problem, define measures, and track progress 
  • A basic GANTT chart for planning the implementation of measures, similar to a project 
  • Tasks in Kanban style for detailed project implementation 
  • Attachments, such as additional information needed for implementation 

The responsible person automatically receives email notifications when a task is due. 

Find All Your Open Tasks in One Place, Whether They Are OCL Items or ToDos

All your personal ToDos and OCL items can be accessed with just one click from the dashboard. But what’s the difference between an OCL item and a ToDo? 

Open Challenge List (OCL): 

  • The OCL is a collection of all unresolved problems, prioritized by potential or implementation speed. 
  • Each problem is directly linked to an A3 report, which provides a structured problem-solving approach (Root Cause Problem Solving, or RCPS). This is also where measures for implementation are defined and recorded. 
     

ToDos: 

  • The measures result in various tasks that are carried out by employees. 
  • These individual tasks work together to resolve the problem captured in the OCL.
     

The Management Report Gives a Clear Overview of the Implementation Status and Savings Per Team 

The kyro reporting provides management with a clear overview of the progress of optimization measures and the achievable savings potential within the company. 

Under “Report,” you will find an overview of the status of your measures and savings per team. You can identify which areas are actively working on CI (Continuous Improvement) and how measures are being implemented. 

The report shows at a glance how effectively improvements are being carried out and where resources can be optimally utilized or saved. 

It supports fast, data-driven decisions and promotes the targeted steering of continuous improvement within the company. 

You can integrate the report into your system via an API interface. 

The Skill-Coaching Matrix Highlights High-Risk Processes and Helps Organize Coaching and Training Sessions 

In the Skill-Coaching Matrix, all processes are recorded per team, and employees are assessed based on their ability to perform those processes. 

The matrix highlights: 

  • Which processes are high-risk because they can only be carried out by one or a few individuals (key man dependencies) 
  • Which individuals can be trained by whom 
  • What the training needs are for each employee 

The Skill-Coaching Matrix is part of kyro because insufficient or lacking skills can also pose a problem for the process. 

The Process House Provides an Overview of All Processes Within the Company 

kyro helps you visualize, optimize, and digitize your business processes. 

Business processes are divided as follows: 

  • Management processes, such as strategy or corporate development 
  • Core processes, which which represent the company’s essential value-creating activities 
  • Support processes, such as HR, IT, or finance 

The main process “HR” can be further divided into sub-processes, such as recruitment, employee development, or separation management. 

These sub-processes can be captured, analyzed, and optimized using Value Stream Mapping. 

Value Stream Mapping & Process Analysis Are Performed at the Activity Level of Each Process
