Our Approach by the Numbers

Understanding the Profit and Loss statement (P&L) and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to operations is undeniably the first crucial step in any financial assessment or strategic planning process. By identifying and analyzing any unfavorable gaps between the business plan and the actual performance, we can effectively prioritize the work that needs to be done to bridge those gaps. Once we have this foundational understanding, we will collaborate closely with the leadership team to define the scope of the necessary initiatives, ensuring alignment and clarity in our approach before we move forward to execute our strategies.

It's important to emphasize that we have little interest in long, drawn-out projects; instead, our focus is on supporting you with swift results that move the needle. As someone who has spent my career in  executive operational leadership, I understand that speed to results is essential in your operation. Additionally, we can benchmark your KPIs to ensure that your business plan (BP) targets are set correctly, starting with key areas such as direct margin: direct labor, direct material, tooling, and outsourcing. Following that, we'll look at other important COGS components, including Indirect Labor (IDL), Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO), employee benefits, freight costs and other fixed burden. Finally, we'll spend time on how your products are priced. This structured approach will help us streamline operations and drive performance effectively.

Our experience covers all aspects of manufacturing operations from precision machining,  heavy manufacturing and assembly in automotive,  commercial transportation, medical instruments, industrial, niche manufacturing and fulfillment.
