# Lean Automation Designer

**Folder:** Manufacturing & Production / Lean/Six Sigma Specialist / Workflow Automation Assistant

## What does it do?

After Lean eliminates waste, some remaining steps are best automated — but only the right ones, and never a wasteful process.

This agent designs it: post-improvement, it identifies steps worth automating, specs the automation, and ensures you're automating a lean process, not waste — so gains scale.

## Benefits

- The right steps automated post-Lean.
- Waste not automated.
- Automation specs ready.
- Gains scale.
- Improve-then-automate discipline.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — an automation platform and relevant app MCPs.
• Skill — an automation-design skill with a process-mapping template.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Invoke it after improvement ("which steps should we automate now?"). It returns automation recommendations and specs.
