Dash + Flow Solutions
I’m a process engineer and operations consultant with a background in automotive manufacturing operations and lean six sigma principles. With over a decade of experience improving processes, building dashboards, documenting workflows, and supporting teams on production floor and office, I’ve turned to supporting businesses who face challenging of spending excessive time on manual quick fixes, unclear data, and non standardized work.…and that’s where I step in!I specialize in reforming underperforming processes and overwhelming spreadsheets into successful and comprehensible systems that people actually use.My approach is rooted in Lean and Six Sigma principles, which I utilize to understand root causes, reduce variations, and design processes that are clear, stable, easy to follow and sustainable.
Who I Work With
Operational Services
At Dash + Flow, I help small and mid-size organizations reduce operational friction, improve cost performance, and regain clarity by understanding how work and data actually flow.I work with:
- Manufacturing and non-manufacturing teams
- Owner-led and growing organizations
- Leaders who want clarity without adding complexity
- Teams spending too much time firefighting or working around broken processes
My services are structured in two ways:~ Project-based engagements are designed to diagnose issues, address specific problems, and create momentum. These are ideal when clarity is needed or when a defined improvement effort is required.
(Focused, Time-Bound Work)~ Retainer-based engagements are designed for organizations that want ongoing clarity, continuity, and operational oversight without adding headcount.This work supports leadership month-to-month as the business changes.
(Ongoing Advisory & Stewardship)
My role doesn’t replace systems or people — Dashboards, process maps, and analysis support this work — they are tools used to create clarity, not the end product.
Project-Based Engagements
Operational Diagnostic & Performance Review
Typical starting point
Focus on review of operational, financial, and process data to identify where performance is spilling out and where improvement efforts should be prioritized.Include:
- Review of existing data, reports, and systems
- High-level process value stream analysis
- Targeted dashboards to surface trends, risks, and variation
- Executive-level insight summary with recommendation focus areasOutcome:
Clear understanding of what's happening today, what matters most, and what should be addressed first
Project-Based Engagements
Cost & Process Improvement Initiatives
Improvement effort focusing on targeting cost drivers, inefficiencies, and process instability; without disrupting operationsExamples include:
- Process stabilization and standardization
- Removal of redundancies
- Eliminate non-value activitiesOutcome:
Improved performance with controlled risk and clear ownership
Retainer-Based Support
Performance & Decision Support Retainer
Fractional Operations Advisor
