Toyota-trained. Floor-proven. Results-measured.

I FIND THE
IDEAL CONDITION. I MAP THE GAP. I CLOSE IT.

30 years. Toyota City, Japan. Not from a book — from the people who invented it. No 200-slide decks. No consultants in suits who've never touched a machine. I walk your floor. I find what's broken. I fix it.

METHOD
// How it works

NO MYSTERY. JUST METHOD.

01

I Walk Your Floor

Not your conference room. Your floor. Where the work happens. Watching. Measuring. Asking "why" until I find root cause. Week 1.

02

I Find the Gap

Between where you are and where you should be. Not feelings. Not opinions. OEE. FTQ. Takt time. Throughput. Measured. Documented.

03

I Close It

With your team. On your floor. Teaching them to see what I see. Building systems that stick. Weeks 2–10.

04

I Leave

And it keeps working. Because your people own it now. This isn't magic. It's method. They'll carry it forward without me.

"McKinsey sends you 12 MBAs who've never run a machine. I send you me. And I've run the machines."
PHILOSOPHY
// Learned in Toyota City, Japan. Not from a book.

WHAT I BELIEVE

Ideal Condition Exists

Every process has one. Most companies have never defined it. I learned this from the people who invented the Toyota Production System — on the floor at Tsutsumi, Motomachi, Tahara, and Kyushu.

The Gap Is Measurable

Not feelings. Not opinions. Data. OEE. FTQ. Takt time. Throughput. If you can't measure it, you can't close it.

Closing It Is Work

Real work. On the floor. With your people. Not in conference rooms. Not on Zoom. Not "advising." Doing.

Your People Own It

I teach your team to see. When I leave, the system stays. That's the difference between a consultant and a sensei.

FIT
// Honest about who I work with

IS THIS FOR YOU?

This Is for You

You're bleeding money on your production floor and you don't know why
You bought automation that was supposed to fix everything. It didn't.
You're cutting headcount but output is dropping faster than labor costs
Your "lean program" produced posters, not results
You need someone who's done this before. Fast. No ramp-up time.

This Isn't for You

You want a consultant who tells you what you want to hear
You want more reports, not more output
You're not willing to change how work gets done
You think manufacturing excellence is a slogan
We won't work well together. And that's fine.
ABOUT
// 30 years making factories work

WHO I AM

Trained in Toyota City, Japan. 11 years learning the real production system from the people who built it. Not from books. Not from seminars. From the floor.

Business-level Japanese. 17 years living in Japan. Permanent resident. I bridge the gap between Western manufacturing and the culture that created TPS.

I've been a machinist, a supervisor, a plant manager, a VP. I don't advise from conference rooms. I'm on the floor until it's fixed.

Based in Nashville, Tennessee. Will travel anywhere the work is.

ENGAGEMENT
// The deal

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

90 Days

That's the engagement. Proof of concept. Measurable results. Then we decide together what comes next.

Measurable Targets

Agreed upfront. OEE, FTQ, throughput, cost per unit. Not vibes. Numbers.

On Your Floor

Not on Zoom. Not "advising." Doing. With your people. Where the work happens.

Your Team Learns

This isn't magic. It's method. They'll own it when I leave. That's the whole point.
