Your plant can do better.
I ran plants before I advised them. I come to the floor to fix the problem with your teams.
Sagging OEE, drifting quality, a stalled transformation, a turnaround to run under pressure. An 80-slide report restarts no line. I go and see the work where it happens, find the root cause and stay until the result holds.
Strategy and turnaround
Turn a site around, secure a P&L, set the industrial direction.
Operational excellence
Lean manufacturing, operations management, performance that lasts.
Quality and control
Quality systems, compliance, process reliability.
The C.O.R.E. method
Four moves, in order. Establish the facts, act on the right levers, embed the results, then raise the level.
Clarify
Field diagnostic. We measure the real state of operations, P&L and processes, and decide on observed facts.
Optimise
We tackle root causes: flow, quality, cost, bottlenecks. Every gain is measured and tracked.
Refine
We embed the results in standards, routines and team skills, so they hold after I leave.
Elevate
We scale up: lasting excellence, Industry 4.0, leadership handed to your managers.
Diagnostic
A few days on site. A frank assessment and a prioritised action plan.
Implementation
I drive execution on the floor with your teams, all the way to results.
Advisory
Regular support to the CEO or plant director, over time.
Every engagement is quoted individually, after a first call.

20 years running plants.
I spent 20 years at a Tier 1 automotive supplier, from the line to VP Operations. I carried P&Ls in the hundreds of millions, led quality turnarounds across whole regions, launched plants from scratch and rolled out Industry 4.0 across 29 sites. What your site is going through, I have often lived already.
One engagement, told without names.
CORE clients stay confidential. Here is a summary of a recent engagement, and notes from the floor.
Designing a new plant, from a bare site to the government file
For a European defence manufacturer: site, process, lines, make or buy, regulations, organisation and the government submission.
