Services · Manufacturing Consulting

A manufacturing consulting practice built around the problems that are costing you uptime.

We work on business problems through packaged programs where the work has been productized, and through embedded engagements where it hasn't been.

02 · The work we take on

Where can a manufacturing operation go wrong?

The list isn't exhaustive, but in our experience manufacturing operations generally suffer from one or more of these problems. Depending on the need, we address them through our decision intelligence programs or through embedded engagements.

Problem 01

Equipment fails before maintenance can prevent it

Reactive maintenance is the norm. You know there's a problem when the line stops. By then, you've lost production time, scrambled shifts, and expedited repairs. The cost compounds every cycle.

Problem 02

Production schedules rarely survive contact with reality

You plan what to run next. Then suppliers miss dates. Then customers accelerate orders. Then equipment fails. The schedule becomes a guess and the execution becomes a scramble.

Problem 03

Supplier capacity constraints cascade into production delays

You don't know whether your suppliers can actually deliver what you need when you need it. By the time you find out they can't, your production is already on hold.

Problem 04

Workforce capacity doesn't align with production demand

You staff for peak, then sit idle during trough — or the opposite: you under-staff during a surge and miss committed shipments. The workforce that exists and the work that's needed are rarely synchronized.

Problem 05

Demand signals are buried in order backlogs

You have sales orders piling up. What should you produce next? Most teams answer with a spreadsheet and hope. The cost is expedited shipping, missed commitments, and lost customers.

03 · How we work

Two ways the work gets delivered, both anchored to the same problems.

Mechanism 01

Packaged programs

We have successfully solved these problems enough times to package the methodology — fixed scope, defined deliverables, known cadence. We offer five manufacturing-specific programs today, each built inside your existing ERP, MES, or data warehouse.

Mechanism 02

Embedded delivery

For problems where the work doesn't fit a package — either because the scope is still being shaped, or because no program exists yet. A senior consultant plus delivery team, on a monthly retainer, working inside your business.

05 · FAQ

Questions manufacturing leaders ask before the first conversation.

Five things we get asked early. We've put the answers here so you can decide whether a working session is worth your time.

01How do you decide between a Program and an Embedded engagement?+

If you know the decision you want to close and the scope is clear, the Program approach fits. If the work spans multiple decisions, or the scope is still being shaped, Embedded Delivery fits. We usually figure this out together in the first working session.

02What data sources do you need to work with?+

We work with whatever lives in your ERP, MES, or data warehouse today — supply-chain data, production schedules, equipment sensors, and sales systems. Your data stays on your infrastructure; nothing leaves your organization.

03What happens after the engagement ends — do we own the work?+

Yes. The work belongs to you at handoff. No SaaS subscription, no licensing. The intelligence layer, the code, and the documentation transfer fully. Your team owns and runs it.

04What's the typical budget range for an engagement?+

The engagement budget depends on scope, duration, and team composition. We'll discuss budget directly in the working session, once we understand what you're trying to solve and over what timeline.

05How long does a typical program engagement take?+

Most programs run 12–16 weeks from kickoff to handoff. Embedded engagements are typically 3–6 months minimum, with renewal based on outcome, not fixed scope.

We don't sell transformation roadmaps or dashboards. We close the decisions that are costing you production.

Tell us what's costing you production this quarter. We'll tell you what we'd do about it.

A working session with a senior team member — 30–45 minutes, focused on your operation, your data sources, and your current decision cadence. No commitment. No pitch deck. We leave you with useful thinking either way.
