Maintenance Foundations

Transform the maintenance function inside your food production facility from "fire fighting" to a reliable service provider.

Our flagship program, "Maintenance Foundations", is aimed at helping food production companies improve the performance of their maintenance department in 84 days or less...guaranteed!!


It's a three-phase, 7-step process, designed to take the maintenance team from very reactive to a smooth and organized function inside your food production facility.

This program IS for:

  • Operations Leadership of Food Production Companies (Plant Manager, Maintenance Manager, Director of Operations, COO, etc.) --> whomever is responsible for the success of the maintenance department
  • Company size between 30 and 300 employees
  • Companies experiencing large amounts of "reactive" maintenance work --> typically more than 50%
  • You are either struggling with or do not have a Preventative Maintenance program (ya, we fix that too!)
  • You have a back log of maintenance jobs (PMs, correctives, improvements, etc.)
  • There's a talented leadership team looking for more systems and processes to increase operational performance
  • There's a desire to leverage lean manufacturing strategies, tools, and tactics in a simple step by step way
  • The factory leaders are frustrated with the daily unpredictability and "fire-fighting"
  • People who know their operation can improve and who are willing to work to make that happen
  • Individuals willing to work with others in their industry to both learn with and learn from
  • Factory leaders willing to give their team the time to implement cutting-edge and proven ideas and strategies

This solution is NOT for:

  • People looking for "quick fixes"
  • People just looking for "training" or "courses" --> we sell solutions...not just knowledge
  • People not willing to try something new
  • People with a "we've tried that before" or "that'll never work" mindset
  • People not willing to take action on implementing ideas
  • Leadership teams with too many projects on their plates at the moment

And now for more brutal honesty:

This is expensive...

(but probably not as expensive as the performance losses your factory is experiencing right now)

Plus, you’ll be required to implement what you learn…fast. Also, you'll most likely be working with other companies like yours in a group setting (over Zoom calls and such) so you’ll be asked to share what’s working in your business with the rest of the group (just as fellow members will be required to share their secrets with YOU). If this scares you then do not apply. We've designed this program to deliver maximum results to you as quickly as possible and we've discovered that when working in a group setting the learning -- and results -- come way faster!! Not to mention, it's way more enjoyable!!

Here's How It Works

First, you’ll need to click the Apply Now button below. Then you’ll be taken to an application where I ask you all sorts of invasive questions about your operation -- they’re not that invasive -- I’m just really trying to weed out the “tire kickers” here.


Then, what happens is your application will come to my office and one of two things will happen. One, I’ll decide we’re not a good match, and I’ll let you know politely. Or two, I’ll decide we MIGHT be a good match and someone from my office will schedule a call to see if we really are. Nobody will pressure you or hassle you. If you want in, great. If not, no problem. We’re cool either way.


I’m only looking for high-caliber (and serious) people to join the Maintenance Foundations program. I’ll review applications on a first-come, first-serve basis.
