What he does best is see what a plant has stopped noticing — the leak nobody reports, the sound that changed, the short stop the operator has learned to clear himself. Together those are capacity lost on every shift.
The day is not a sales visit. It is a walk of the real floor with your team, followed by a straight account of what was found, what to fix first, and which items your own people can handle without hiring anyone.
What the day covers
- An opening meeting with management and supervisors, about an hour
- A walk of the line with your production and maintenance people
- A look at whatever downtime and defect data already exists
- A verbal summary to the team before he leaves
- A written findings note within a week, with the work ranked in order
Who it suits
- Plants that know something is wrong but not yet where
- Plants that ran TPM once and watched it fade
- Plants considering buying a machine to add capacity
- Managers who want to judge the consultant before committing to a programme
After the visit
You end the day with a usable report whether or not anything else follows. If a programme does follow, the fee for the visit is deducted from it.
On the floor
Walking the line with client engineering and maintenance teams.
