What We Do

Consulting is used when manufacturing programs benefit from clearer definition before or during execution. This may include preparing a part or process for production, stabilizing an existing workflow, or reducing friction between engineering, purchasing, and the shop floor.

This work is grounded in real manufacturing constraints such as parts, schedules, suppliers, and production systems.

When Consulting Helps

Consulting is most effective when tied to an active or upcoming manufacturing effort. Common situations include early production planning, process hand-off issues, unclear ownership between teams, or systems that do not support how work actually flows.

Engagements are typically scoped to specific problems with clear outputs, rather than open-ended initiatives.

Types of Problems

This work often focuses on practical issues such as:

• Design for manufacturability and production readiness

• Process definition and documentation for repeatable builds

• Quoting structure and cost drivers tied to real execution

• Workflow clarity between engineering, purchasing, and production

• System structure that supports traceability and follow-through

The emphasis is on solving problems that show up in day-to-day manufacturing, not creating new frameworks or reports.

How This Integrates

Consulting is tightly integrated with machining and manufacturing work when appropriate. Insights gained during production inform how processes are defined, documented, and improved.

This integration allows decisions to be validated against real constraints and avoids solutions that look good on paper but fail in execution.

Our Approach

This work is not positioned as general business or transformation consulting. Engagements are practical, focused, and tied to manufacturing execution.

Consulting may be engaged as a standalone effort when the scope is clear and directly related to production readiness or system support. In many cases, it complements machining or manufacturing programs already in progress.

For organizations looking for long-term strategy, advisory retainers, or broad operational transformation, this is likely not the right fit.
