Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

Jobs finish but margins are unclear
Scheduling changes every day
Installs come back repeatedly
The owner approves everything
Production meetings accomplish little
Estimating and reality do not match
Good employees seem overloaded
Growth has created operational chaos

Most shops do not have one big problem. They have daily problems that compound until the owner becomes the system.

Practical operational improvements

About Joby

20+ years in custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, and wood manufacturing. From engineering and production through multi-site GM leadership.

I work with a small number of companies at a time because the goal is not to deliver advice. The goal is to improve operations.

I am not a consultant who read a book about the trade. I have worked in it, managed it, fixed it, and run it.
