Changeovers eat a full shift every week.

OEE looks fine on paper, not on the floor.

New lines ramp up months late.

Scrap climbs every time volume does.

Robot cells sit idle waiting for parts.

Gains fade once the project ends.

Testimonials

Norvale01/03

“M11 OPS spent two weeks on our floor before recommending anything. The line they redesigned now runs at 75% OEE, and our own team owns the routine that keeps it there.”

Sophie LavalléePlant manager · Norvale Automotive Systems
Strata02/03

“They found the bottleneck nobody on our side wanted to name. Setup on our five-axis cell went from 95 minutes to 40, without new machines.”

Mathieu CaronVP operations · Strata Aero Components
Kestrel03/03

“The robotic cell went live on the date they promised. More importantly, our operators were trained and confident from the first shift.”

FAQ

Questions plant leaders ask us

Questions plant leaders ask us

Still unsure about something? An engineer answers within one business day.

From single-line shops of 40 people to multi-site networks. Most clients run between one and five plants.

With a two-week diagnostic on your floor. You get a ranked list of losses and what each fix is worth before you commit to anything bigger.

No. We stay vendor-neutral: we write the specs, run the selection with you and are paid by you, never by suppliers.

Most clients see measured gains within the first 90 days. Capital projects follow their own schedule, tracked weekly against a baseline.

That is the point. Every change ships with standard work, training for floor leads and a review routine your people own.

Bring us your worst bottleneck.

A senior engineer walks the line with you, free, and tells you what it is costing and how fast it can be fixed.
