High Caliber Operations

I Measure the Leak.
I Fix the Constraint.
I Install Discipline.

You don't need another report. You need to know what's costing you per shift — and what to do next.

If margin is leaking, it's leaking today.

MARGIN RECOVERY FIRST. LEAN DEPLOYMENT SECOND.

Who I Serve

I work with a specific kind of manufacturer.

Best Fit

  • ✓ $10M–$40M manufacturers
  • ✓ 75–200 employees
  • ✓ Tier 2–3 automotive, metal stamping, fabrication, similar environments
  • ✓ Leaders who suspect margin is leaking but can't quantify it

Not a Fit

  • ✗ Under $5M revenue
  • ✗ Enterprise companies with full internal CI departments
  • ✗ Leaders who are "just exploring" with no urgency

If you're not a fit, I'll tell you on the call.

My Mission

Most plants aren't failing because people don't care.

They're bleeding because the system allows waste to hide.

Revenue looks stable. The floor looks busy. But paid time isn't producing output. That gap turns into overtime, missed output, expediting, and margin erosion.

Companies don't collapse. They bleed.

High Caliber Operations exists to quantify that bleed, correct the root causes, and install the discipline that protects margin long-term.

How I Work

Three steps. No ambiguity.

01

Measure

I quantify exposure in per-shift dollars.

Time-stamps + throughput behavior + your labor and production data → exposure in dollars.

Not theory. Not percentages. Dollar + time.
02

Fix

I stabilize the constraint and remove the friction limiting output.

1–2 outcomes only. Constraint first.

Convert measured leakage into recovered margin.
03

Install

I implement the routines that protect recovered margin.

Leader routines + scorecards + escalation rules.

You'll leave with a simple daily cadence your leaders can run without me.

Margin recovery first. Lean deployment second.
What I Look For on Your Floor

When I walk your operation, I'm not looking for "ideas."

I'm looking for measurable leakage:

  • Paid labor minutes not producing output
  • Starvation and blockage at the constraint
  • WIP stacking hiding flow problems
  • Overtime masking structural margin leakage
  • Rework loops and hidden scrap drivers
  • Labor plan misaligned with actual demand

Then I translate it into dollars: labor, overtime, missed output, and expediting.

This isn't opinion-based.
It's observable. Measurable. Financial.

Principles I Run By

Three rules. Non-negotiable.

Floor-First

I watch work move, not meetings.

Math-First

I quantify exposure before prescribing fixes.

Discipline

I install routines so recovered margin stays recovered.

Background

Built where everything is measured daily.

My background includes leading large operator teams where labor hours, throughput, downtime, and output were tracked every shift.

The same measurement discipline applies to mid-market manufacturing — where resources are tighter and execution has to be simpler.

No slide decks. Floor-first execution.

What to Expect

If we speak:

  1. 20-minute discovery call to confirm fit and urgency
  2. NDA available before any data exchange
  3. No prep deck — just basic labor, output, and downtime numbers
  4. I estimate rough exposure with you on the call
  5. If it makes sense, I schedule the 2-day assessment

You will know whether margin is leaking — before committing to anything else.
