Industry operational excellence solutions
Independent manufacturing consulting for factory problem solving, Lean performance, quality, automation and operational leadership—built for production leaders who need a decision, not another slide deck.
Built for the uncomfortable middle
FactoryResolve is for the moment when the team has data, opinions and supplier proposals—but still no confident decision. Start with what you know. We turn it into a structured diagnosis, realistic options and an actionable next step.
Industrial consulting services
Senior, practical support for manufacturers that need to improve performance, solve a recurring problem or make a difficult operational decision.
Connect strategy, daily management, KPIs, accountability and continuous improvement to measurable factory performance.
Explore operational excellence → FactoryResolve serviceIndependent diagnosis for recurring defects, unstable output, bottlenecks, failed countermeasures and unclear priorities.
Resolve a factory problem → Flow and stabilityPractical Lean, Kaizen, OEE, SMED, standard work, line balancing and material-flow improvement based on shop-floor evidence.
Improve the production system → People and executionOperational coaching for production managers, shift leaders and teams facing weak ownership, escalation or change adoption.
Strengthen operational leadership → CAPEX and supplier decisionsCompare equipment and automation options across acquisition, integration, labour, energy, maintenance, quality, downtime, ramp-up and end-of-life cost.
Evaluate lifetime value →Interactive triage
This quick route shows what evidence should be collected before anyone jumps to a solution.
Bring the defect definition, occurrence history, detection controls and a photo or sketch of the process. The review tests whether the countermeasure prevents the error or merely detects it later.
Use this route for my case →Knowledge library preview
Each case records the context, constraints, options and decision logic—not just a polished “before and after”.
Preview cases demonstrate the intended library format. They are not customer testimonials or claims of measured results.
A decision in four steps
Describe the symptom, context, target and what has already been tried. No confidential files are needed for the initial scope.
Receive a short list of missing evidence and assumptions that could change the decision.
Get alternatives assessed for impact, cost, implementation effort and risk.
Use the recommended 7-, 30- and 90-day actions. An anonymised learning may later strengthen the case library—with permission.
Founding pilot offers
Early pricing tests willingness to pay before a full subscription platform is built.
Selected public cases and practical problem-framing tools.
A scoped independent second opinion for one clearly defined manufacturing problem.
Subscriber-only access to the full case library, decision tools and guided search.
Pilot scope and price are confirmed before work begins. VAT treatment and contracting depend on the final service provider setup.
Manufacturing, quality, automation and operational leadership experience across demanding industrial environments.
Human review where it matters
FactoryResolve is designed around a simple principle: generic advice is easy to generate; a credible manufacturing decision depends on constraints, consequences and what can actually be implemented on the shop floor.
Three founding pilot slots
Complete the guided, non-confidential case brief. The submission is stored with a reference number. A fit/no-fit response and scope are confirmed before payment or detailed documents are requested.
Before you submit
A bounded production, quality, Lean, automation, CAPEX or operational-leadership problem where an independent second opinion can improve the next decision. Legal certification, regulatory approval and safety validation remain with qualified responsible parties.
No. Begin with an anonymised, non-confidential outline. If a deeper review needs sensitive information, the scope, handling method and any NDA should be agreed first.
AI may help structure the information and locate relevant patterns. A paid case review is checked and shaped by Simon before delivery. Assumptions and limitations are shown explicitly.
Not automatically. Only an anonymised learning may be proposed, and it should be published only with clear permission and without identifiable company, product or process information.
The public website does not display submitted cases. Submissions are stored for private review. Case results are available only through the protected member area after the agreed service or subscription is activated.
No. It opens the full case brief and records a request. Scope, fit, contracting and payment are confirmed before work begins. The site does not collect payment-card data.
