"Michael has worked with my team on a few consulting projects and I have to say he did a thorough and complete analysis for us. He was able to take a rather complex process, analyze constraints, and provide meaningful recommendations for improvement. I would highly recommend Michael for any process improvement project or any consulting engagement in general."
Bob Hermann, COO, Libra Industries

What we do:
This service focuses on implementing continuous improvement initiatives through structured methodologies like Lean and Six Sigma. It includes leading Kaizen events to target specific inefficiencies, facilitating 5S workplace organization programs, delivering hands-on training sessions, and managing improvement projects that reduce waste and variation across processes.
Training also available.
This involves a detailed examination of your current operational capacity, using historical data and predictive modeling to assess whether your resources can meet current and future demand. The process often includes throughput analysis, shift planning, and scenario modeling to inform strategic decisions about scaling, staffing, and capital investment.
Training available as well.
Through time studies, task mapping, and data analysis, this service identifies how labor and equipment are currently used, highlighting under- and over-utilization. It helps determine optimal task allocation, rebalances workloads, and provides insight into how labor efficiency impacts overall productivity and cost.
This service analyzes how physical space is used on the shop floor, designing or redesigning workcells and facility layouts to improve flow, reduce travel time, and enhance safety. It often includes spaghetti diagrams, workflow simulations, and ergonomic assessments to ensure every square foot of space contributes to operational efficiency.
This offering uses digital tools to create dynamic models of your processes, allowing you to simulate different operational scenarios before implementing changes in the real world. It supports decision-making around bottlenecks, staffing, scheduling, and capital investment by revealing the likely outcomes of each strategic option.
This service evaluates your product designs from a manufacturing and cost-efficiency perspective. It focuses on simplifying production steps, selecting cost-effective materials, and reducing part counts — all while maintaining or enhancing product performance and quality. It often involves collaboration between engineering, procurement, and production teams to maximize value at every stage of the product lifecycle.
Customer-facing materials and training are also available.
