Survey
The Operations Survey
Interviews and a plant walk, no data extract required. A read of what breaks first when volume doubles, from the people who run the floor.

What we do ยท Operations
What breaks if volume doubles?
We look for the place delivery gives way first, which is rarely the place the last consultant examined.
What is capped here
The constraint here is delivery and capacity. Doubling volume exposes the parts of an operation that were never built to carry weight: the schedule that lives in one person's head, the quality escape that only shows up at scale, the site that measures itself differently from every other site you run. We find where the operation actually gives way first, not where the last assessment assumed it would.
The lanes
- Manufacturing. Capacity, throughput, quality and corrective action, and the complexity nobody actually chose.
- Delivery. What breaks first under load, and the work only one person knows how to do.
- Measurement. Key performance indicators (KPIs) that agree across sites that each measure differently.
