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 contributed to new product introductions for 800-lb medical equipment, led troubleshooting for 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: I won first place🥇 in my class for lowest manufacturing cost during a competitive Manufacturing course project, establishing a foundation in practical 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.
Areas of Excellence:
Systems & Process Optimization
Line & Departmental Balancing
Design for Manufacturing & Assembly
Lean Manufacturing Integration
Let's transform your manufacturing challenges into competitive advantages.
Do you know how much you spend on pest control? 🪲 Is it worth it? ✅
Do you know of manufacturers with rampant bug problems?
Probably not, because most understand the benefits of preventative and reactive pest control.
Does your exterminator promise an additional $2 Million in profit above current state?
Do you know how much you pay Cintas to refill First Aid kits and clean rugs? 🩹
You're not paying for "a clean rug" or "a few single-use bottles of eye drops."
You are paying for the certainty that your floors will be clean and your first aid kits will be fully stocked without fail.
"Would it be so crazy to bring in an expert second opinion if only for the certainty that we're not leaving $2 Million on the table this year?"
Stay with me: Do you know of manufacturers with rampant inefficiencies? Of course!
Because they haven't discovered the benefits of preventative and reactive pest problem control.
CORE PRINCIPLES
Fix the root cause, not the symptom.
Stop being too busy mopping to turn off the faucet. I find what's actually broken and fix it permanently.
Simple solutions beat complex ones.
The best improvements can seem obvious once someone points them out. Creativity before capital.
Reality beats theory every time.
I work with what you have, where you are, no textbook fantasy. If it doesn't work on your shop floor, it doesn't work.
Speed matters.
Every day you wait to fix a problem costs money. I move fast because slow solutions are expensive solutions.
Measure what matters.
Revenue, quality rejects, cycle time, employee turnover. Everything else is just noise.
Leave you better than I found you.
My job isn't to create dependency - it's to solve problems and teach your team ways to keep them solved.
THE MITCH ROBINSON GUARANTEE
I will find problems you didn't know you had and show you exactly how much they're costing you. Then I'll solve them.

*Notice the highest commitment level is lower than a yearly FTE salary, and I guarantee my own ROI 100%.
Guarantees fly around all over the place. But really look at this one.
I guarantee my own ROI 100%.
Whatever you spend on improvement services will be AT LEAST covered by the outcomes.
In some cases outcomes have paid for the service by 5x, 10x, or even 100x*.
That means you're spending this money already, anyways. Or 10x more. On waste. You might as well redirect it to sustainable improvements.
*I don't have a disclaimer here. Some companies would have to say "results not typical." So far, these results are typical. It's actually crazy, I know!
But Here's The Thing:
This only works for the right manufacturers.
You need to be the kind of leader who:
Believes manufacturing excellence is a competitive advantage
Understands that sustainable change requires ongoing attention
Values measurable results over motivational posters
Wants to build something remarkable, not just maintain status quo
If that sounds like you, let's have a conversation.
If it doesn't, keep doing what you're doing. Your competitors will thank you.
Your Next Step Is Very Quick:
Schedule a free Assessment.
No charge. No obligation.
Why no charge? Because confident manufacturers recognize value when they see it. And manufacturers who don't... well, maybe they just haven't had a chance yet to see beyond their limitations. I'm really here for both.

"Stop mopping. Turn off the faucet."
P.S. - The Real Question Isn't Whether This Works...
The question is: How long will you keep letting preventable inefficiencies cost you money?
Every day you wait is another day your competitors get stronger while your profits get flushed away through fixable problems.
The manufacturers who act now will be the industry leaders tomorrow.
