Global Operational Excellence

We can solve critical operational problems for your company.

"We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

- Aristotle

We solve operational problems that keep CEOs up at night.

Operational problems that your team has yet to solve, such as product backlog, capacity issues, product launch delays, unresolved quality issues, and supply chain issues, are what make us UNIQUE! We can strengthen your organizational operations while resolving the critical problems that keep leaders up at night. Our root-cause problem-solving approach provides short-term and long-term solutions that eliminate or substantially reduce issues to negligible. In addition, we will identify and improve your low-hanging fruit issues.

Root Cause Problem Solving Consulting

One of our core competencies is providing virtual and on-site as-needed consulting to solve operational problems in factories, hospitals, offices, and govenment facilities. The issues are usually worst-case scenario problems such as:

  1. Customer recall or complaints caused by the supplier

  2. Product backlog or capacity issues

  3. Unknown dynamic bottlenecks

  4. High numbers of quality rejects or rework products or services

  5. New product launch delays

  6. High employee turnover

  7. Lack of problem-solving employees

  8. Supplier quality containment

Caldwell & Associates has a Critical Operations Problem Solving (COPS) methodology that addresses a worst-case problem’s root cause and determines a short-term and long-term solution. We can collaborate with your team and assist in the project management to complete the long-term permanent solution. It’s a win-win situation for your company and customers.
