Mitch Robinson: Engineering Operational Excellence in Northeast Ohio

Based in Aurora, Ohio, I specialize in manufacturing turnarounds and operational improvements for Northeast Ohio manufacturers. My track record includes transforming a failing assembly plant from 9 months of losses and 267% employee turnover to $954,000/week profitability through systematic process improvements.

I solve three core problems: production bottlenecks that limit capacity, quality issues that create waste and rework, and disorganized material flow that kills productivity. My expertise centers on electronics manufacturing, medical devices, and complex assemblies where precision and efficiency are critical.

Proven results include: 60% throughput gains, 97% reductions in quality rejects, and material handling improvements that cut part retrieval time from 10+ minutes to under 30 seconds. I've led new product introductions for 800-lb medical equipment, optimized conformal coating processes, and implemented organization systems that eliminate chronic operational chaos.

With 15+ years of industrial engineering experience and a degree from Purdue University, I deliver measurable improvements in quality, delivery, and profit. 

Fun Fact: In a Purdue Design for Manufacturing (DFM) competition, I won first place 🥇 for lowest manufacturing cost, establishing a foundation in practical & creative problem-solving that continues to drive results today.

I work exclusively with manufacturers throughout the Cleveland-Akron corridor including Solon, Twinsburg, Hudson, Chagrin Falls, and Streetsboro who need immediate operational improvements and long-term process optimization. Whether you're struggling with production capacity, quality consistency, or operational efficiency, I provide hands-on expertise to solve problems and scale operations sustainably.
