Every path below runs on the same playbook — assess, target, execute, sustain — sequenced around the result you actually need. Four of them are outcomes. One is the redesign underneath them. You do not have to pick all five, and you do not have to start big.
No deck. One call, your numbers, and an honest read on whether we can help.
Most plants start with one path, prove it, and come back for the next. Each card names who it is for. The page behind it has the full argument: when it applies, what you get, how we deliver it, and what it does not solve.
Outcome · Capacity
Get more out of the lines you already have. Typical gains of 10-15%+ in throughput and yield — usually before a single piece of new equipment is ordered.
Who it's for
Operations leaders facing rising demand without matching capex headroom. Plant managers who suspect the constraint is not where the spreadsheet says it is.
10-15%+
Typical throughput and yield gains
Outcome · Data Visibility
Real-time, high-frequency data and dashboards so operators and leaders can finally see what is actually happening on the line — sub-second resolution, contextualized, and built for decisions.
Who it's for
Operations, IT, and engineering leaders whose reports lag production by hours, whose historian is full of slow answers, and whose vendors keep saying it cannot be done.
Sub-second
Production data resolution
Outcome · Waste Elimination
Identify and remove chronic sources of downtime, scrap, speed loss, and micro-stops — and make the gain stick instead of walking back out three months later.
Who it's for
Plant managers and continuous improvement leaders watching daily losses they cannot pin down, recurring scrap patterns, and improvement initiatives that do not hold.
Sustained
Gains that survive the handover
Outcome · Cost Visibility
Activity-based costing wired to actual production data. Real cost per part, per line, per shift — so finance and operations finally manage from the same numbers.
Who it's for
CFOs, controllers, and operations leaders who do not trust line-level cost roll-ups, and who need pricing and mix decisions backed by current data instead of last quarter's averages.
Per part
Costing tied to real production data
Capability · Process Design
Redesign how the work moves through the building — flow, SCADA control, and MES execution. Proven on one line, then standardized across every site you run. Brownfield or greenfield.
Who it's for
Operations and engineering leaders whose plant has hit its ceiling, multi-site operators standardizing a process, and teams designing a new facility that has to pencil out.
One standard
Proven on one line, repeated site to site
Not sure which one you are looking at?
Two minutes of honest self-diagnosis will tell you.
Five questions on the Consulting page point at one of the four outcomes, and that is where a first conversation should start. You can answer them on your own and never call us — the questions are useful either way.
Take the readiness assessmentWhichever path you enter through, the method does not change. Four steps, in order, every time. The model is deliberately boring — the discipline is in refusing to skip a step. You get a deliverable at each one, and you can stop after any of them.
01
Time on the floor, on your shifts, with your operators — plus the real production data and whatever prior studies you already paid for. Out of it comes a measured baseline and the constraint, named, with evidence.
02
One thing that pays, sized and scoped before work starts: the expected gain in numbers, the downtime windows production agreed to, and a named owner inside your plant.
03
The change lands in phases, in the plant, with the measurement running so you can see the effect as it happens. Your CI engineer and supervisors learn the method while it is being applied.
04
Documented standards, a review cadence, clear ownership, and verified before-and-after numbers. We check back after handover, with no dependency on us designed into the deal.
Our courses are short, practical, and tied to a real outcome on your floor — and they travel across every engagement above. Each one is taught on your systems, with your data, by the same people who do the consulting work. If an operator cannot use it on the next shift, we did not teach it properly.
Hands-on training that turns the MES from a compliance tool into the way the line is actually run. Taught on your configuration, with your part numbers, so an operator can recognize and correct a bad entry before it becomes a bad month-end.
What the vocabulary actually means for your floor, what connected manufacturing costs to run, and how to read a roadmap critically. Ends with each attendee drafting the first project they would fund in their own plant.
Reading, questioning, and acting on real-time floor data. Tied to your daily-management routine rather than a generic template, so the morning meeting ends in a decision instead of a debate about the number.
Built around your equipment, your software, and the change you are making — a new line, a new standard, a new costing model, a crew that has to come up to speed before launch. Run on your floor during your shifts.
Consulting's independence of recommendation is protected on purpose. A recommendation you cannot trust is worth nothing to you, and it costs us more than the sale.
Thirty minutes, working session, your numbers. We will point you at the path that fits — or tell you straight that we are the wrong people for the problem.
