Two seasoned operators who can take on one problem or the whole business, on the shop floor or in the systems behind it, for manufacturers, assemblers, distributors, and trades businesses.
Each of us is deepest in one area, but we've both run operations, built systems, and fixed process problems well outside our home turf. We staff the engagement to the problem: one of us, or both side by side.
Some problems need two sets of hands. Our recent and upcoming engagements often put both of us on the same one:
The crossover is real. Tony has restructured warehouses into business-unit teams and built a company-wide operating system. Todd has built production-line data systems and led manufacturing engineering consulting.
Built for speed: weeks and months, not multi-year transformation programs.
Objective review of operations and the functions that support them, surfacing risk and opportunity before either becomes a costly surprise.
Rapid, hands-on execution on quality, throughput, and cost: continuous improvement, standard work, and new product launches.
Embedded interim leadership while a permanent hire is found, plus leadership training so your team runs the system after we leave.
Not every engagement starts at step one. A single production line review, a product launch, or a short interim stint are all fair starting points.
New acquisitions that need structure, standard process, and a leadership team on the same page, quickly. Pre-deal operational diligence, post-close turnaround, and onboarding programs that repeat across a portfolio.
Owner-operators who need experienced leadership in place long enough to set the vision and build the structure, then train their people to run it without us.
Where we work: manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, distribution, and the skilled trades.
Over sixty years of combined experience, translating fixes into measurable P&L impact.
Thirty-nine years in automotive and e-commerce operations, including four start-up operations launched from concept through full production. A hands-on leader who builds accountable teams and simplifies complex problems.
Nearly thirty years of corporate experience, including eight as COO of a vertically integrated e-commerce company across manufacturing, operations, and administrative functions, followed by manufacturing engineering consulting with large industrial clients.
