Offering Experience-Driven Solutions
From job shops to mass production facilities, from ISO 13485 medical device clean rooms to metal fabrication & luxury consumer product manufacturing plants, you can draw on experience that consistently delivers improvements across diverse manufacturing environments. The sustaining approach is built on three key principles:
Systems over struggle: Rather than relying on increased effort or additional double-checks, we implement robust systems that prevent errors
Simplification through structure: We reduce complexity and guesswork by establishing clear, sustainable processes
Proven methodology:
Depending on the state of your production system: Dive into one of these phases, whatever that may look like for your unique situation.

Every day you wait to fix a problem costs money. I move fast because slow solutions are expensive solutions.

Getting Started & Getting Going
Initial Assessment
Initial Assessment
Make a quick call then I'll follow up with an on-site study of your production system.
Since you and I both hate to waste any time how's this:
I will find meaningful savings and capacity opportunities during my first visit, or your first week is free.
I also guarantee my own ROI 100%.
And one for the skeptic:
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.
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 over 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.

Right-sized component slots with labeled shelf locations assigned for each incoming part.
All painted part numbers now have tags.
These indistinguishable parts were previously identified by length, width and number of holes on each edge, comparing to the 3D engineering model, previously used in place of work instructions.
