Matthew is a welcome addition to our team as a consultant. He is a no nonsense professional passionate about efficiency and improvement. He took on a project and the results were: we picked up time, reduced the possibility of errors, added transparency intradepartmentally and interdepartmentally, leveraged technology, engaged our team, and it was all done as quickly as we were able to go. He recognizes other’s skills and uses them efficiently. This resulted in engaging others on our team and saving us money. I recommend Matthew if you are serious about gaining efficiencies in pursuit of world class operations.

I have had the privilege to work under Matthew on two separate occasions and his leadership style is consistent and powerful. He embodies servant leadership and has a daily focus on developing people. While he is highly knowledgeable in manufacturing excellence and lean tools, he believes in creating a strong and positive company culture where team members are empowered, trusted, and respected. His quarterly team outings of volunteering and his newsletters which highlight team accomplishments and company improvements are small examples of his commitment to a positive company culture. I no longer work with Matthew directly, but he remains a sounding board for my development and ideas as I build my own teams. 10/10 I would recommend Matthew for a leadership role in manufacturing!

I worked with Matt while @ FC Lighting. Matt was instrumental in the makeover/turnaround of FC Lighting by completely re-organizing the Operations Group. Matt's focus on our delivery issues lead the drive towards world class delivery metrics all while our revenues grew @ a spectacular rate. No easy feat.

Matt also led our organization through a upgrade of our ERP system setting the stage for future growth with a ERP system ready for unlimited growth and the ability to produce much needed metrics and real time decision data.

Additionally, Matt was a pleasure to work with, always positive and willing to share information and ideas always with the goal of "what's best for company" ethos...

Chaos-Full Stop, Practical Lean, Scale2Grow and Special Projects Review

Mark Macauley CFO

★★★★★

I recently had the opportunity to attend a Lean Leadership training (Leadership from bottom-up) session, and I am thoroughly impressed with the experience. The training was exceptionally well-organized, comprehensive, and highly relevant to the current demands of Lean methodologies.

Marrhew's deep understanding of Lean principles was evident throughout the course. They effectively communicated complex concepts in an accessible manner and provided practical examples that we could immediately apply in our daily operations.

The insights on fostering a Lean culture, empowering team members, and sustaining continuous improvement were invaluable. I left the training feeling inspired, equipped with actionable strategies, and more confident in my ability to lead Lean transformations.

I highly recommend Matthew and his team to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of Lean and make a significant impact on their organization's efficiency and effectiveness.

I am thrilled to recommend Matthew for his outstanding expertise in lean processes. His ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner ensures that every level of the organization understands and embraces the principles of lean. Matthew's impact goes beyond mere implementation; he instills a culture of lean within the organization, driving transformative change. Personally,

Matthew has been instrumental in my own lean journey, offering valuable guidance and support. I highly recommend Matthew for his profound knowledge, exceptional communication skills, and transformative approach to lean principles

What I enjoy most about working with Matthew is his passion, dedication and focus. He cares about helping make processes better for manufacturers. To get them out of the chaos into stability and then into a thriving operation. And he does it because he genuinely enjoys seeing the people as they become more and more empowered. Thing is Matthew not only has a heart for the work…but he is damn good at it too.

The results speak for themselves. Improvement in production and quality is just the start of the benefits you’ll see when working with Matthew.
If you are feeling like your plant is out of control or just needs some minor tweaks to make it the best you know it can be…call Matthew…he will help get you there and beyond!
