Kaizen and project management for engineering leaders: Standardize, track, and accelerate engineering projects and CapEx delivery

Stage-gate project management software runs every project through the same stages, with an approval at each gate before work moves on. LeanSuite applies this to engineering and CapEx projects, with a recorded trail of each deliverable and approval.

Ideation captures requests with an owner and estimated impact. Feasibility scores effort against impact and approves qualified projects. Execution runs on a checklist with milestones, and Closure confirms deliverables and realized savings.

Each project shows actual spend against budget month by month and a live ROI forecast. At closure, a summary compares actual ROI with the estimate.

A bank of standard checklist questions for each CapEx stage. When a project enters a stage, you apply its checklist in one click.

From employee ideas, production bottlenecks, maintenance requests, quality issues and flagged audits, not only from the engineering team.

Yes. Workflow rules set who can move a project to the next stage and can lock editing once a stage is passed. A rule can also require, for example, hard savings above zero before a project reaches finance.

Each project records its capital expense with depreciation years, alongside hard and soft savings and cost avoidance, so ROI is shown on the same basis for every project.

Yes. The four stages above are an example. You define the project types, phases and days per phase, so your existing gate names and approvals carry over.
