Stop Losing $17.6M to Downtime

Zero Buzzwords. Real Results.

While other consultants sell you sensors and dashboards, I fix the boring stuff that actually moves the needle: broken PMs, garbage BOMs, and teams too buried in firefighting to prevent the next failure.

80% Of Failures Have Human or Organizational Root Causes

Sound Familiar?

Chronic Breakdowns

The same equipment keeps failing. You've got "bad actor" lists a mile long, but nothing actually gets fixed. Your team is stuck firefighting while production bleeds money.

PMs That Don't Work

Your preventive maintenance program is bloated with tasks nobody believes in. Techs skip steps because the procedures are garbage. Nothing ever gets updated.

Shutdown Disasters

You spend millions on outages, cram in 200+ jobs, and still come out with the same problems you went in with. Three weeks later, something major fails.

Parts Nightmares

Your BOMs are broken. Techs show up to jobs without the right parts. You're hot-shotting components every week because nobody maintains the data.

Buried in Buzzwords

You've been sold on AI, predictive maintenance, and digital twins. You've got dashboards nobody looks at and sensors tracking equipment that still breaks.

Reactive Culture

Your reliability engineer is hunting for parts. Your supervisor is drowning in emails. Your planner is trapped in meetings. Nobody's doing the actual work.

How I Actually Fix It

Emergency Downtime Reduction Sprint

For plants losing $500K+ monthly to chronic downtime. I identify your #1 throughput constraint—equipment, process, people, or systems—and eliminate it in 90 days or less.

  • Theory of Constraints methodology
  • Boots-on-the-ground execution
  • Measurable throughput gains
  • 30-day sprint cycles

PM Program Optimization

Transform your bloated, ineffective PM library into a lean program that actually prevents failures. Complete rebuild with FMEA analysis and technician feedback loops.

  • Rewrite vague tasks with specific steps
  • Add pass/fail criteria and verbs
  • Eliminate waste, add value
  • Build trust with your crew

Shutdown Planning & Execution

Lead high-stakes shutdowns from planning through execution. Surgical scope prioritization, comprehensive walkdowns, and on-site leadership to deliver on time, on scope, on budget.

  • 6+ month advance planning
  • Eliminate low-value work
  • Materials verification & staging
  • Measurable post-shutdown gains

BOM Accuracy Overhaul

Fix the broken Bill of Materials costing you time and money. Establish ownership, create review processes, and eliminate your hot-shot culture.

  • Start with top 50 critical assets
  • Sync BOMs with storeroom reality
  • Implement change control systems
  • Build sustainable processes

Maintenance Planning System

Build or rebuild your planning function from the ground up. Train planners in proper job scoping, complete work order preparation, and backlog management.

  • Boots-on-ground scoping methods
  • Complete job packages every time
  • Backlog visibility and control
  • Set your techs up for success

Risk-Based Maintenance Strategy

Move from reactive bad actor chasing to proactive risk management. Build living risk registers tied to real data with clear mitigation plans.

  • Identify top 10 active risks
  • Severity assessment & prioritization
  • Clear mitigation action plans
  • Shift from reactive to proactive

Not another consultant with a slide deck. Someone who's done the job and knows how to fix what's actually broken.

The Difference? I've Done The Job.

I'm not a corporate consultant who's never picked up a vibration analyzer. I've been the reliability engineer called in at 2 a.m. I've been the planner building job packages that techs actually trust. I've led shutdowns, rebuilt PM programs, and fixed broken BOMs.

Over the last two decades, I've worked with dozens of plants—from Fortune 100 companies to privately held manufacturers—and one pattern keeps showing up: companies don't have reliability problems, they have execution problems.

My Approach in Four Words:

NO BUZZWORDS. JUST RESULTS.

I don't sell you sensors or software. I fix the fundamentals: planning that works, PMs that prevent failures, shutdowns that deliver, and teams that execute. Then—and only then—do the fancy tools matter.
