Our fees are tied to outcomes. If the agreed business results are not delivered within the agreed timeframe, our professional fees are not payable.
No fine print. No excuses. Only results.
Who We Work With
-
Medium to large manufacturing & industrial organizations (₹2000 Cr – ₹200,000 Cr revenue)
-
Multi-plant operations with complex logistics and throughput challenges
-
Complex supply chains seeking breakthrough performance and cost reduction
-
Leaders serious about measurable impact and rapid execution in operational excellence
We are Not a Fit For
-
"Training-only" teams looking for class room sessions, not hands-on transformation

Discrete Manufacturing
Unlocking Throughput Without Adding Capacity
The Challenge: Despite high utilization and constant firefighting, the organization struggled with chronic delivery delays, rising WIP and inventory, and expediting becoming business-as-usual.
The Insight: The real issue was uncontrolled work release and unmanaged bottlenecks. The system was busy, but not flowing.
What We Did: Made in-flight work visible end-to-end, identified and protected the true constraint, stopped overloading the system, and re-aligned priorities around throughput, not utilization.
Throughput: +26% | Lead Time: –45% | Inventory: –40%
Automotive Components
From Chaos to Predictable Delivery
The Challenge: Multiple improvement initiatives running in parallel, high activity but low predictability, and missed delivery commitments hurting relationships.
The Insight: Local efficiency targets were actively destroying system performance.
What We Did: Identified the single system constraint, eliminated conflicting priorities, and introduced daily flow-based decision-making.
On-Time Delivery: Improved from ~70% to >95% | Expediting: Eliminated
Process Manufacturing
Excess Inventory Masking Flow Problems
The Challenge: Excess inventory across plants, long lead times despite idle capacity, and rising working capital pressure.
The Insight: Excess inventory masking flow problems.
What We Did: Implemented smarter forecasting methods, created cell based production, and aligned operations, planning, and sales teams for joint decision making.
Inventory: –30% | Lead Time: –40% | Cash Released: >US$2,000,000
Industrial Equipment Manufacturing
Demand Growth Outpacing Delivery Capability
The Challenge: Demand growth outpacing delivery capability, leadership budgeted high capex and headcount increase, and concern about execution risk.
The Insight: The system had unused capacity, hidden by poor flow and prioritization.
What We Did: Reduced variability and rework, implemented SMED, and aligned demand to system capacity.
Output: +43% | Capex: Deferred
