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, not another opinion.

A fractional operations lead walking an electromechanical assembly floor with a line operator during a Gemba walk, the operator tracing how work moves between stations, cool blue-grey tones with a single warm brass highlight on a bench fixture.

What you get

Value stream and swim-lane maps, top of funnel to cash, including the ECO and CAPA workflows where changes stall
Gemba walks and targeted Kaizen events on the floor
Leading and lagging metrics across the four pillars: People and Culture, Process, Products and Services, Cash
Team training on data governance, pull systems, 5S, and the right use of AI
A 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, remote for the analysis. Fixed scope, fixed deliverable.

A 30-day operational plan taking shape on a glass planning board, a swim-lane process diagram of empty boxes and arrows above a row of blank sticky notes being arranged into sequence, cool blue-grey tones with a single warm brass highlight on a pen.

โ— Case in point

Standard Work 2.0โ„ข at a defense ATE contract manufacturer

A greater-Boston builder of automated test equipment brought in Garrett Partridge LLC against a multi-million-dollar production backlog. The full-floor diagnostic found $130K in software cost avoidance before the first process change.
