1. Factory X-Ray: Intensive Factory Diagnostic

   • Our Flagship Service where we study the factory in depth over multiple visits, finding the barriers to smooth production and the root causes of recurring quality defects.

2. Weekly Treatment: Ongoing Operations Engineering Support

   • Done-For-You Process Improvements working on the most impactful processes and methods to make everyone’s job safer, easier, and quicker.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or click the Factory Checkup button at the top of the page. It’s very quick.

We do not sell a To-Do-List - Engineering Service specialists are happy to initiate and execute each project action to ensure minimal disruption for your team. From performing time studies and reducing changeover and setup time to deep analytical research into material and product specs, scouring equipment manuals or online documentation for operating instructions and troubleshooting, designing clear and helpful visual aids, implementing a new organizational system, or even building right-sized shelves and carts, creating training materials, training all shifts on new methods, etc.

If it’s the most important next step to help your factory achieve your goals, it’s our top priority.

Initial Diagnostic Factory X-Ray is priced so that we can offer a 10:1 Return on Investment. We aim to find at least $50,000 in losses or waste, so most manufacturers find the $5,000 diagnostic phase to be the best investment of the year.

Ongoing support is available at $3,500 per month.

• An optional 12 month annual service plan reduces the monthly rate by $650, down to just $2,850/month.

Annual Plan = $34,200 per year; that’s about half the rate of an entry level engineer.

1. Past project performance does not guarantee future success. Productivity gains of 2.4x were not typical. $200,000 in quality defect reduction is not guaranteed.

2. All results given in examples have actually happened but cannot be easily duplicated in every case.

3. We cannot promise any future results, including increased sales if customer demand doesn’t support new capacity.

4. We DO NOT recommend making more products for any reason, unless you are sure you need more throughput to match your supply to unmet demand.

5. The factory turnaround from the edge of bankruptcy to billion dollar acquisition is not typical.

6. For the 10:1 Guarantee: The losses we will seek out to eliminate include industrial engineering calculations of waste, excessive overtime, scrap, missed sales, penalties, carrying costs, energy, material, excess labor for unnecessary steps, and others where applicable.

7. If you can’t fully satisfy customer demand with your current capacity, but you know could easily sell $50,000+ more per year if only you could get more product out the door, that’s $50,000 we’ll go after first.

8. If you’re making 200 widgets per day and sell them for $20 each, and you think the market could in fact purchase 220 per day, we will help you increase your throughput to meet that level of customer demand. In this example, your revenue would grow by $80,000+ per year.
