Manufacturing, measured where it happens.

Manufacturers know their plants to the minute and their margins to the quarter. Our manufacturing work closes that gap, contribution by line, product and customer, capacity that is real rather than nameplate, and market entries that survive the plant's actual constraints.

The capacity model, Fennimore Foods

What is going wrong.

01Growth plans the plant cannot make

Three markets, three decks, no capacity number that survives the shift pattern.

02Lines kept for sentiment

Products that contribute nothing after logistics, defended by whoever launched them.

03OEE measured, not acted on

The dashboard is green and the customer's order is late.
