Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 100‑day stabilization plan include?

Days 0‑30 stabilize SQDC and map constraints; Days 31‑60 implement SMED/TPM and attack top losses; Days 61‑100 lock wins with playbooks, LSW, and dashboards.

How do you verify savings?

Baseline is established with finance and operations. Savings are tied to OEE, yield, labor, or inventory—audited with sources and controls before counted.

Do you offer performance‑linked compensation?

Yes. For interim/contract roles I can structure a kicker based on audited savings and delivery against defined KPIs.

Will this disrupt customers?

No. Stabilization protects service first. Changes are sequenced around schedule, with risk‑tiered trials and first‑piece checks.
