Our specialized services
We offer a suite of lean manufacturing consulting services, each designed to tackle your unique operational challenges and deliver measurable, sustainable improvements. Leveraging real-world Michelin methodologies, we provide practical, hands-on solutions to reduce waste and boost efficiency.
Eliminate waste across the board
We hunt down the classic 7-8 wastes (overproduction, waiting, transport, over-processing, inventory, motion, defects, unused talent) using value stream mapping and zero-loss analysis, often achieving 20-40%+ reductions in operational costs and freeing up working capital.
Boost equipment & line efficiency
We dive deep into Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), predictive maintenance, and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) to minimize downtime and speed up changeovers (SMED), leading to 20-50% jumps in throughput without new equipment.
Optimize inventory & pull systems
Shift from push to pull production with kanban signals, heijunka (level scheduling), and right-sized inventory buffers. Resulting in 30-70% inventory reductions, improved cash flow, and faster customer demand fulfillment.

Solving your biggest manufacturing challenges
Manufacturers bring me in to tackle core frustrations like low productivity, throughput bottlenecks, high waste, excessive inventory, long changeover times, and rising costs. These are the problems eating into profits and stressing your teams. I provide fresh eyes and proven tools and tricks to fix them, from inconsistent processes and poor root-cause fixes to chaotic daily management and plateaued improvements.

Imagine 20-45% productivity increases, 30-60%+ inventory reductions, and changeover times slashed from hours to minutes. These are typical outcomes I help clients achieve, alongside significant scrap/rework savings and faster lead times. My approach is customized; we start with a quick diagnostic to spot your biggest opportunities and ensure rapid ROI, often 15-30% in year one. Let's talk about bringing Michelin-caliber gains to your floor.
