Floor Audit
Alignment Roadmap
Active Implementation
Governance Transition
We spend the opening ten business days observing active production and shift dynamics. Findings capture actual floor bottlenecks, inventory delays, and unit-level workflow obstacles.
We define measurable operating milestones tied directly to working capital, reporting rhythms, and margin recovery. Every objective has an assigned executive owner and explicit timeline.
Partners work alongside department heads twice weekly to test operational changes. We adjust routing, procurement rules, and supervisory cadence directly in the field.
We establish permanent reporting scorecards and management review habits before concluding our contract. Your leadership team retains total procedural autonomy.
Lean advisory for regional operators
National consulting firms routinely bill for sprawling teams of junior generalists learning on your balance sheet. Mid-market enterprises in the Intermountain West require seasoned executives who understand equipment leasing, working capital strain, and regional supply realities.
Ekman Group assigns only senior partners with direct operating track records. We embed quietly, pinpoint structural friction, and build resilient management habits that survive long after our final checkpoint.
Operating models fail whenever theoretical assumptions collide with the actual speed of the warehouse floor.
