Lean Consulting That Starts on the Floor — Not in a Boardroom
We help mid-size manufacturers cut waste, increase throughput, and improve margins — without Big-4 fees or theory that falls apart the moment it hits your shop floor.
What we help manufacturers do:
– Eliminate waste and shorten lead times
– Add capacity without adding headcount
– Build improvement habits that outlast the engagement
Proven Results on the Shop Floor
Most consulting engagements end with a report. Ours end with your team running the improvement themselves. Leanwrx works directly with your operators, supervisors, and leadership to build lean capability that sticks — long after we leave.
If you’re dealing with:
- Bottlenecks that choke throughput and delay deliveries
- Excess inventory tying up cash and floor space
- Processes that depend on tribal knowledge instead of systems
We can help. And we’ll prove it with measurable results — not theory.
One engagement. Measurable impact.
A custom wheelchair manufacturer was preparing to move to a new facility — but knew they’d be taking their problems with them. We helped them clean up processes, clear out excess inventory, and build sustainable production practices before the move. The result: a team that walked into their new building with clear systems, organized workflows, and the confidence to scale. That’s the kind of transformation lean thinking delivers when it’s built from the floor up.

Founded by an operations consultant with 15+ years of experience across manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services — from Fortune 500 organizations to owner-operated shops. Let’s talk about what Leanwrx can do for your operation.
Process Improvement Consulting
When budgets tighten and expectations rise, every dollar has to work harder. I work side by side with your team to find the hidden waste in your operations — the rework, the waiting, the workarounds that have become “just how we do things.” Together, we build practical solutions that your people can actually sustain.
Whether it’s streamlining a production line, reducing changeover time, or mapping a value stream end to end — the goal is always the same: measurable improvement your team owns.
- Product defects that cause quality control issues
- Overproduction that causes inventory and storage issues
- Workflow bottlenecks that cause downtime
- Human resource misallocations that cause waste of talent and worker loss
- Shipping inefficiencies that cause transportation cost increases and logistics errors
- Duplicated back-office processes that cause extra work and waste time
Customer Needs Discovery
Your customers are the lifeblood of your business, which is why we make this a primary focus. Are you listening to what your customers have to say? Understanding exactly what your customers need is essential to the success of your entire operation.
- Filter for the Voice of YOUR Customer
- Identify their key pain points
- Construct strategies to deliver maximum value.
- Discover real customer insights
Strategic Growth Planning
Do you have a five-year plan? If not, you could be losing out on business. We want to help you! Our Leanwrx Consulting team is ready to take on the challenge of building a solid game-plan for the future success of your business for a solid foundation to get you started on the right track. Allow us to help secure the future of your company by:
• Creating ideal customer profiles

• Performing A/B testing to enhance results

Implement Lean Manufacturing
Most manufacturers know they have waste in their processes — they just can’t see it clearly enough to fix it. That’s where lean thinking changes the game. We work alongside your team to identify and eliminate the waste that’s hiding in plain sight: excess motion, overproduction, waiting, defects, and unnecessary inventory.
- Improving operational efficiency and throughput
- Delivering higher-quality products at reduced cost
- Building a culture of continuous improvement on the floor
- Training your people to sustain gains after we leave
- Applying 5S, value stream mapping, and standard work — practically, not theoretically
Business Coaching
Real change starts with your people. I work with leadership teams, supervisors, and frontline operators to build lean thinking into the way your organization operates — not as a one-time event, but as an ongoing capability. From executive coaching to shop-floor kaizen, the goal is top-down buy-in and bottom-up ownership.
I’ve coached teams at organizations ranging from $18MM custom manufacturers to Fortune 500 companies, always with the same approach: build capability, not dependency.
Training and Workshops
In addition to our standard trainings and workshops, we can also develop customized trainings and workshops using your company’s own materials, simulations, and exercises. This is great to give your employees (and yourself) a renewed understanding of the real information they’re working with every day.
