I helped grow a manufacturing company's quarterly output from $160,000 to $220,000 by removing a production bottleneck and automating their quality assurance checks.

Outcomes

• Quarterly output grew from $160,000 to $220,000, a 37% lift.
• Rework dropped 34% once automated checks replaced late manual inspection.
• Product returns fell 19%, saving roughly $39,000.

Challenge

Output was capped by a single production bottleneck, and quality problems were caught late, after the cost was already sunk.

Solution

• I mapped the production line and found the stage every order queued behind.
• I redesigned the workflow to clear the bottleneck.
• I automated the quality assurance checks so defects were caught at the source instead of at the door.
