On-Site Operations Assessment
Details
What it is
A focused, boots-on-the-ground engagement where we walk your floor and talk to the people actually doing the work. We follow your entire process from cradle to grave. You walk away with a full assessment report and a three-phase improvement plan, not a quick verbal readout. Because this isn’t tied to any single ERP platform, it works whether you’re running Infor, Acumatica, Dynamics, SAP, or something else entirely.
Who it’s for
Manufacturing leaders who already run a tight operation but want a second set of trained eyes to find the edge they can’t see from the inside. You know your floor. What you don’t have is an outsider with no stake in the org chart, willing to tell you exactly where the next percentage point of throughput is hiding.
What we actually do
- Spend 2.5 days on-site observing shop-floor execution, planning meetings, and system usage firsthand
- Interview operators, supervisors, and planners to surface gaps between how work is supposed to happen and how it actually happens
- Review your data and reporting, regardless of ERP platform, to spot where the system and the operation have drifted apart
- Identify the constraints doing the most damage to throughput, on-time delivery, or data integrity
- Deliver a full assessment report with a three-phase improvement plan, sequenced and prioritized
- Offer a natural on-ramp into Manufacturing Consulting or Project Delivery Support if deeper work is warranted

Client-side ERP Support
Details
What it is
Most ERP consultants work for the software vendor or the implementation partner. We work for you. As your independent advocate, we sit on your side of the table, keeping your implementation partner accountable, protecting your timeline and budget, and making sure the system being built actually fits the way your operation runs.
Who it’s for
This service is built for manufacturers who are mid-implementation and feeling the strain, or for leaders who are about to start an ERP project and want experienced eyes in their corner from day one.
What we actually do
- Attend weekly project management reviews, steering committee meetings, and vendor calls on your behalf
- Monitor project scope to prevent creep that inflates timelines and costs
- Translate vendor deliverables into plain language your leadership team can act on
- Identify configuration decisions that will create problems at go-live, before they’re locked in
- Clean, map, and transform your legacy data for import into the new system
- Absorb project busywork so your internal team can stay focused on running the business
Manufacturing Consulting
Details
What it is
We help operations leaders turn capacity into consistent profit by diagnosing and removing the constraints that limit throughput, flow, and on-time performance. Our services focus on aligning production planning, scheduling, and shop-floor execution to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce variability, and improve predictability across the entire value stream.
Who it’s for
Plant managers and operations leaders who feel like they’re flying blind, or who have data but aren’t sure what to do with it.
What we actually do
- Diagnose: Analyze throughput, evaluate scheduling practices, assess KPI systems
- Plan: Develop standardized work and operating procedures, align S&OP, establish metrics
- Implement: Lead initiatives, improve ERP/MES usage, deploy dashboards
- Coach: Train supervisors and operators, facilitate management routines, establish CI systems
Project Delivery Support
Details
What it is
Sometimes you don’t need a consultant who writes reports. You need someone who can roll up their sleeves and get things done. We embed directly into your team as a working partner, taking ownership of deliverables and keeping complex initiatives moving forward when internal bandwidth runs out.
Who it’s for
Operations and project leaders managing large-scale change initiatives, such as ERP go-lives, process redesigns, and system integrations, where the biggest risk is execution stalling because everyone is already at capacity.
What we actually do
- Own specific workstreams so your team isn’t stretched across too many priorities
- Drive weekly accountability on milestones, risks, and open issues
- Prepare leadership updates, project status reports, and board-level summaries
- Step in as interim project lead when internal resources are pulled to other priorities
- Keep cross-functional teams aligned and moving, even when priorities compete
