21% efficiency gain. 11% cost reduction.

On a multi-million-dollar operation

SALEM's Consulting Group stabilizes underperforming manufacturing plants — fast. If your plant is missing on cost, delivery, or safety, every month of drift is costing you six figures. We find out why, and we fix it.

Your plant isn't underperforming because your people don't care.

It's underperforming because somewhere between strategy and the shop floor, execution broke down. Maybe throughput slipped and nobody can say exactly where. Maybe overtime is eating your margin. Maybe your supervisors are firefighting instead of leading, and your best people are quietly heading for the door.

Leadership teams usually know that the plant is off. What they can't see from the P&L is why — and every quarter spent guessing costs more than fixing it would.

That's the only problem we solve. Not "digital transformation." Not a 200-page strategy deck. Plant-level operational stabilization, led by someone who has run the floor.

One problem. One path. Three ways to engage

  • 01.

    The Plant Performance Diagnostics

    Where every engagement starts. Two days on-site, a deep review of your operating data, and structured interviews from the floor to the front office. You get a findings report that dollarizes exactly where performance is leaking — and a prioritized 90-day roadmap to stop it. No open-ended discovery. No upsell required to get value: the roadmap is yours whether we implement it together or you run it yourself.

  • 02.

    The Plant Turnaround Sprint

    For plants that need results this quarter. We take the diagnostic roadmap and drive it: weekly operating reviews, KPI dashboards your leadership can actually run the business from, and hands-on direction for your plant leadership team. Your people execute — so the gains hold after we leave.

  • 03.

    Fractional Operations Executive

    Executive-level operations leadership for manufacturers not ready for a full-time VP of Operations. A weekly operating cadence, KPI review, and a seasoned voice in the room for capacity, labor, and capital decisions.

Results, Not recommendations

  • 21% efficiency improvement and 11% cost reduction leading the turnaround of a large 24/7, capital-intensive production network — while exceeding service, quality, and budget targets

  • Zero lost-time safety incidents, sustained across a large multi-shift unionized workforce

  • 15 years from the front line to the executive suite — supervisor to executive plant manager, which means we've done the jobs your team does

Find out what your plant's underperformance is actually costing you

  • The Plant Performance Diagnostic takes two to three weeks and gives you a dollarized answer. Book a 30-minute call to see if it fits.
