30-Day Operational Triage

The full diagnostic. A defensible written plan in thirty days.

Who it is for

The owner who knows something is eating capacity but cannot name it, and needs a plan they can act on, not another opinion.

What you get

Value stream maps and swim-lane process maps of how work actually moves, top of funnel to cash, including the ECO and CAPA workflows where engineering changes stall

Gemba walks and targeted Kaizen events on the floor, not from a conference room

Leading and lagging metric analysis across the four pillars: People and Culture, Process, Products and Services, Cash

Embedded team training on data governance, pull systems, 5S, and the right use of AI

A final recommendations report that names the constraint and the sequence to remove it

How it works

Roughly five weeks at twenty hours a week, on-site for the floor work and remote for the analysis. Fixed scope, fixed deliverable.

● Case in point

Standard Work 2.0™ at a defense ATE contract manufacturer

A greater-Boston builder of automated test equipment brought in Garrett Partridge LLC to attack a multi-million-dollar production backlog. The engagement opened the way every engagement opens: a full-floor diagnostic that identified $130K in software cost avoidance before the first process change.
