Multiple engagement models tailored to your operational needs, timeline, and objectives. From comprehensive transformation to targeted tactical support.
Systematic three-phase engagement to identify your highest-value constraint, design the optimal solution, and guide implementation with capability transfer.
Independent assessment of operational capabilities, constraints, and improvement potential. Quantify risks and value creation opportunities for investment decisions.
Design operational frameworks, business systems, and improvement methodologies. Build structured approaches for performance management and operational governance.
Engineering-level analysis for specific operational questions. Capacity studies, debottlenecking, layout optimization, feasibility assessments, and capital project evaluation.
Focused support on defined operational initiatives with clear scope and deliverables. Process improvement, workflow optimization, or problem-solving for specific constraints.
Fill critical gaps or guide teams through implementation. Direct operational oversight, change management support, or coaching during transitions and critical projects.
For organizations seeking maximum ROI, this proven methodology systematically identifies your highest-value constraint, designs the optimal solution, and transfers capability to your team.
Comprehensive data analysis to identify the single operational constraint with the highest financial impact. No recommendations until the data clearly identifies the problem.
Engineer the optimal solution with your team's input. Design includes implementation plan, resource requirements, and ROI projections.
Guide implementation while transferring capability to your team. Success measured by sustained improvement after engagement ends.
Representative results from engagements across rail, logistics, petrochemical, and manufacturing operations.
Global railcar lessor, Western Canada
Lack of standardized processes causing quality issues and rework across 700 railcars per year
Developed integrated business system combining standardized work, visual management, and training frameworks
Established CI program reduced rework by 35% through systematic process improvement and capability building. Supported $9M strategic capital expansion analysis.
Contract logistics 3PL, Western Canada
Inefficient layout and processes limiting warehouse capacity and throughput for pharmaceutical distribution
Comprehensive process analysis with layout optimization and workflow redesign for medical sector operations
Identified $1.7M in potential savings while adding 41% warehouse capacity. Enabled facility expansion without capital investment.
Petrochemical manufacturer, Western Canada
Critical production constraint limiting site throughput and gross profit potential across polyethylene operations
Led comprehensive debottlenecking analysis using engineering principles and data-driven constraint theory
Identified production constraint valued at $70M in gross profit potential. Analysis enabled strategic capital investment decisions.
Contract logistics 3PL, multi-site Canadian operations
Lack of systematic improvement methodology across sites preventing sustained operational gains
Designed and implemented enterprise LSS program with Yellow Belt and Green Belt development across multi-site operations
Delivered $650K in documented savings across 9 Canadian sites. Mentored improvement teams and developed 18-month roadmaps with site managers.
Petrochemical manufacturer, Western Canada
Critical product quality defect with failed detection equipment threatening major customer relationship. Internal politics and CYA mentality preventing rational problem-solving
Structured investigation cutting through organizational paralysis. Analyzed customer requirements vs internal specs, evaluated inspection costs vs risk, redefined process controls based on customer-driven criteria
Resolved quality issue and retained customer responsible for 5% of sales volume. Avoided costly 100% inspection approach driven by internal fear rather than customer needs.
Fifteen years in corporate operations taught me that the best improvement methodologies often fail due to organizational politics, budget constraints, and competing priorities. Working independently eliminates these barriers.
My approach differs from traditional consulting: I refuse to recommend solutions until the data clearly identifies the highest-value problem. This discipline ensures we solve the right problem first, not the easiest or most politically acceptable one.
Every engagement includes capability transfer to your team. My success is measured by your team's ability to sustain improvements long after my engagement ends.
While structured methodology delivers the highest value, I also provide flexible support for organizations with specific operational needs, interim leadership requirements, or targeted project work. Every engagement is tailored to your timeline, budget, and objectives.
No internal politics constraining problem identification and solution design
Direct reporting to decision-makers, bypassing organizational layers
Every recommendation tied to quantifiable financial impact
Systematic approach refined through decades of industrial experience
Your team owns the solution and sustains results independently
Understand your operational challenges and determine if there's a good fit with my capabilities and approach
Define engagement model, deliverables, timeline, and investment. Clear terms before work begins
Provide independent analysis, objective recommendations, and practical implementation support
