Physical lean transformation + real-time digital visibility
TaktWorks helps manufacturing leaders regain control of the floor by fixing flow, connecting standards to daily execution, and giving supervisors live visibility into jobs, labor, scrap, bottlenecks, and root-cause signals. No enterprise software. No army of consultants.
Built by a manufacturing engineer with hands-on production floor experience.
Flow, layout, WIP, standards, and supervisor routines.
Zones, visual controls, material flow, and standard work.
Jobs, labor, scrap, attendance, RCA, and labor planning.
KPI review, Gemba issues, root-cause action, and coaching.
Physical transformation + digital execution layer, delivered end-to-end.
TaktWorks is built for production and operations leaders who know the floor has problems but don't have the internal bandwidth or budget to fix them with a traditional consulting firm or a six-figure software project.
TaktWorks is built for manufacturing leaders whose floor is running on tribal knowledge, delayed updates, and reactive firefighting instead of a visible, repeatable operating system.
Leaders cannot tell at a glance who is working on what, what is behind, what is next, or where the bottleneck is forming.
Supervisors spend hours walking around for status, updating whiteboards, and reacting after output has already fallen behind.
Standards may exist, but they are not connected to daily labour allocation, worker logging, station performance, or leadership reporting.
Jobs slow down because material, tools, packaging, and work‑in‑process are not staged where the floor actually needs them.
Scrap is tracked after the fact, but leaders cannot quickly tell whether defects are tied to workmanship, process, station, tooling, or fixture conditions.
Daily production conversations become anecdotal because teams lack one shared source of truth for output, labour, quality, and constraints.
The goal is not another dashboard. The goal is a floor operating system that helps supervisors run the day, helps managers see the truth, and helps leadership make better capacity decisions.
Real‑time visibility into jobs, stations, labour coverage, output, scrap, and bottlenecks across the active shift.
A cleaner supervisor routine: assign work, track progress, raise constraints, review KPIs, and close the loop daily.
Defensible KPI reporting that connects physical improvements to throughput, efficiency, time saved, and capacity unlocked.
Root‑cause visibility by worker, part number, station, fixture, and time period so corrective action is based on evidence.
90-minute virtual or on-site session. I map your current state: stations, flow, material movement, and visual systems. You get a findings summary and your top three priorities, whether or not you move forward.
I redesign the things slowing your floor down: layout, workstations, visual management, material flow, standard work. Changes your team can see and use from day one. No software required.
Once the physical reality is right, I build dashboards on top of it. Supervisor console, real-time station tracking, KPI visibility. Your improvements are now measured, visible, and provable to leadership.
Monthly retainer for KPI refinement, system updates, and continuous improvement so the gains compound instead of erode. You stay ahead of the floor, not behind it.
Two disciplines. One engagement. Physical transformation and digital visibility, working together.
Hands-on lean work that changes how your floor is organized and operated.
Lightweight dashboards that make the physical gains visible, trackable, and reportable.
Traditional firms diagnose and advise. I diagnose, implement, and install a tracking layer so you can measure what changed and show it to leadership. I stay involved after go-live.
Traditional MES implementations run $375,000 to $1.2 million with 18 to 24 month deployment cycles and dedicated IT teams. TaktWorks delivers core floor execution visibility in 6 to 8 weeks at a fraction of the cost, with no IT infrastructure required.
Your team knows the problems. They don't always have the time, tools, or outside perspective to fix them. TaktWorks brings structured methodology and a tracking system your team can own and run independently afterward.
Built for supervisors, not IT departments. Every screen is designed to shift your team from reactive firefighting to proactive floor intelligence, catching problems before they hit production.
Supervisors chase updates, discover problems after output drops, manage by exception after the fact
Real-time visibility across every station, scrap trends surface before they spike, root causes identified before they compound
Real-time station management across every active job on the floor. Current job, next job, and queue visible at a glance, with drag-and-drop sequencing, progress tracking, and one-click reassignment.
Full platform demo available on request. Book a diagnostic call to see it running on a live floor.
TaktWorks turns daily worker logging into root-cause visibility, helping supervisors detect defect patterns before they compound into larger production problems.
The RCA module connects part numbers, workers, stations, scrap quantities, and time windows so leaders can see whether quality issues are isolated to one person, repeated across multiple workers, or concentrated around a specific station, fixture, tool, or process condition.
That means supervisors can coach, reassign, refine standard work, or inspect tooling based on data instead of guessing after the damage is already done.
Scrap by worker, part, and time period to identify training, fatigue, skill mismatch, or reassignment needs.
High scrap across multiple workers on the same part points to process, standard work, material, or design issues.
Scrap concentrated by station or fixture helps flag tooling wear, setup problems, calibration issues, or redesign needs.

TaktWorks was created by a manufacturing engineer and production supervisor who got tired of watching great supervisors waste hours every day chasing updates on whiteboards and spreadsheets.
I've managed production departments, run kaizen events, redesigned floor layouts, and spent more time than I'd like manually calculating efficiency numbers that should have been live on a screen. The tools that existed were either built for fully automated plants with six-figure budgets, or too generic to mean anything on a real floor.
So I built TaktWorks from scratch. I physically restructured a live production department, layered real-time dashboards on top, and validated it shift by shift until supervisors could run it autonomously. The results speak for themselves.
My goal is simple: give ops managers the same structured methodology and real-time visibility that big plants take for granted, without the enterprise price tag or the 18-month implementation.
Tell me about your factory and your biggest constraint. I'll map TaktWorks to your current state and show you exactly what a pilot engagement would look like.
