All three on one engagement

A heavy gauge thermoforming manufacturer, 39 weeks.

All three principals worked the engagement. The operating rhythm went in first: roles and responsibilities written as behaviors, shift huddles with hour by hour boards across 13 cells and 3 shifts, structured handoffs, a plant wide action register, and a Thursday review run on plan, actual, variance and action.

A rail of thirteen brass forming tools receding into the dark, the nearest dulled with rust and the furthest polished and lit from inside with teal, a small brass counter unrolling a strip of ledger paper at the end of the rail.
