Operational Transformation Engagement

Stabilizing production. Restoring control. Building scalable manufacturing systems.
Mid-sized ammunition manufacturer | Full-scope engagement

The Situation

  • Chronic downtime and inefficient changeovers

  • Scrap and yield losses impacting margins

  • No defined quality validation systems

  • Supplier instability creating production risk

  • Limited internal product development capability

  • Equipment and tooling bottlenecks

What Was Done

  • Production Systems
    Standardized scheduling, rebuilt changeovers, and eliminated inefficiencies

  • Engineering Solutions
    Designed custom tooling, dies, and gauges to remove bottlenecks and reduce labor

  • Quality Infrastructure
    Implemented inspection standards and measurable validation systems

  • Product Development
    Led load development and introduced new product categories

  • Supply Chain Stabilization
    Secured materials, restructured vendor relationships, and controlled pricing

  • Capability Buildout
    Built casting department, SOPs, and training systems from the ground up

Strategic Impact

  • Restored operational control and predictability

  • Eliminated dependency on unstable suppliers

  • Built internal product development capability from zero

  • Increased throughput without proportional headcount growth

  • Positioned the company for scalable growth and new partnerships

Key Results

+19.46% Production Performance Increase
-36% Downtime Reduction
Up to 400% Efficiency Gain in cleaning operations
Scrap Reduced from 23% to <0.5%

Closing

Execution. Engineering. Results.
Not theory, but operational control that shows up on the floor.
