Straight-Forward Consulting- Supply chain consulting that helps you thrive

Manufacturing Solutions

Straight Forward Consulting

We understand. Your manufacturing processes are unique, because your inputs and your outputs are unique. And most likely, much of your conversion activities are also unique. But that is mostly the ‘what’. We’ll focus primarily on the ‘how’, using cross- industry proven methodologies like lean and six sigma. We’ve used these skillsets for many years, delivering significant cycle time reduction, increased quality, and lower costs for you.  We will engage a cross functional team of stakeholders across the process, as well as outside the process, and leverage all the tools in our toolbox to improve your operations.  And these tools are 100% transferrable to service sector environments.
