Fixed-scope sprints

Pick the waste.
Fix it in one fixed scope.

After a diagnostic shows where the money is going, the fix runs as a sprint: one problem, a fixed scope, a fixed quote, done on your floor with your operators. No hourly meter running while you wonder what you're paying for.

Every engagement starts with a diagnostic, so the sprint is aimed at measured waste — not at whatever looked worst on a walk-through.

The sprint work

Four kinds of sprint, each scoped on its own. Most shops start with one.

Changeover reduction

Setups and changeovers, the specialty: getting a cell from one job to the next with less downtime. We separate what has to happen while the machine is stopped from what can be prepared while it's still running, stage the work, and standardize the sequence so every operator runs the same changeover — the fast one, not their own version of it.

Scrap reduction

Find where rejects are born and cut them at the source. Defects usually have an address: a parameter, a file, a worn habit nobody questioned. A scrap sprint traces the defect back to that address and fixes it there, instead of inspecting harder at the end of the line.

5S and visual management

One cell or area, organized so the next operator inherits order, not archaeology. Everything the work needs has a place you can see; anything missing is obvious at a glance instead of discovered mid-job.

Work instructions and SOPs

Documentation your operators will actually use, written from the floor — the steps in the order they're done, with the settings and checks that matter, in language that survives a new hire's first week. Good instructions are how a fix stays fixed after the sprint ends.

Pricing

Straightforward, on purpose. Fixed scope, not hourly. Every engagement starts with a diagnostic.

Deep — diagnostic + a multi-area program — is quoted per engagement. Duration is set per engagement, once the diagnostic shows the scope warrants it.

Sprints

Fixed scope, fixed quote, done on your floor with your operators — so the improvements stick after I leave.

Your floor stays yours

Everything I see and hear in your shop — processes, products, customers, numbers — is confidential. I don't share it, copy it, or reuse it anywhere else. If you have an NDA, I'll sign it before the diagnostic starts.
