What we find
Six places money leaks in most operations. Every finding comes with a dollar figure and its source.
The diagnostic runs bilingual, English and Spanish — see the software that sustains the fix below, in both.
// 01
Freight
Rush shipments, partial loads, and returns that a little planning would have avoided.
Illustrative example3 expedited shipments a month at $800 = $28,800/year.
What we do: We track expedite frequency and cost, then fix the planning gap causing it.
// 02
Inventory
Cash tied up in stock, obsolete parts, and shortages that stop production.
Illustrative example$120,000 in slow-moving inventory at 20% carrying cost = $24,000/year.
What we do: We size the real carrying cost and set min/max levels that match actual demand.
// 03
Material consumption
Overconsumption, scrap, and yield below standard that nobody's tracking by SKU.
Illustrative example2 points of scrap on $600,000 of material = $12,000/year.
What we do: We baseline scrap by line and close the gap to standard.
// 04
Headcount growth
Hiring to patch a broken process instead of fixing the process.
Illustrative exampleOne $48,000 role that a corrected process wouldn't need.
What we do: We find the process fix before you find the next hire.
// 05
New launches
Late starts, rework, and hidden costs on a new product or menu item.
Illustrative example6 weeks of delay on a $40,000/month-margin launch = $60,000.
What we do: We build the launch checklist that catches the gap before it costs you.
// 06
Machine downtime
Unplanned stops and slow changeovers eating your run time.
Illustrative example4 hours/week of downtime on a $350/hour line = $72,800/year.
What we do: We find the top downtime driver and fix it first.
