Manufacturing Process Excellence for Cleveland's East Side 

I provide on-site Lean Six Sigma consulting to Cleveland-area manufacturers, focusing on the eastern industrial corridor from Euclid to Solon, and to the south and east. With over 10 years experience in manufacturing, I've delivered as much as $954k/week in revenue recovery through systematic waste elimination and defect reduction. 

Cleveland Manufacturing Challenges I Solve 

Cleveland's diverse manufacturers, from Lincoln Electric's welding systems in Euclid to precision manufacturers in Solon, face unique challenges:

• Aging workforce requiring process standardization before retirement

• Legacy equipment needing optimization without full replacement

• Automotive supplier pressures demanding higher quality at lower costs

• Medical device regulations requiring documented process control

• Steel price volatility necessitating waste reduction to maintain margins

Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Approach 

Define: I map your current state, identifying the gap between where you are and where Cleveland's top performers operate. And I ask questions. Lots of questions. This is where the magic really begins. 

Measure: Using data from your floor, not assumptions. Real cycle times, actual defect rates, true OEE.

Analyze: Root cause analysis using fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys, and statistical analysis to find the real problems—not symptoms.

Improve: Implement solutions that stick. No consultant theater—just practical improvements your team can sustain.

Control: Create visual management and standard work that maintains gains after I leave.
