Brian Crusoe
I’ve spent 10+ years in food and CPG manufacturing — running production floors, leading turnarounds, and building the systems that keep plants running after the consultants leave.
What makes me different: I don’t just know Lean and Six Sigma. I build tools for the plant floor because I got tired of watching operations teams drown in data they couldn’t use. The OEE Analyzer exists because most plants still track OEE in spreadsheets nobody trusts. The cost calculator exists because I kept seeing vendors quote 30% of the real number.
I work at the intersection of shop floor operations and modern technology — not because it’s trendy, but because that’s where the biggest gaps are. Most technology consultants have never run a shift. Most plant managers don’t have time to evaluate digital tools properly. I’ve been on both sides.
I take contract engagements of 3–12 months, and I’m open to performance-linked compensation because I trust the results.
