There are no shortages of challenges and problems. But if you’re playing Whac-A-Mole with your focus or “improvements” you’re likely to have little or no bottom-line impact.
The solution: Velocity Manufacturing!
The solution is based on Theory of Constraints and inherent simplicity. Most or all of the above problems are connected to one root cause. In Velocity Manufacturing we understand and use these connections to dramatically improve. And because we’re working on the root cause, bottom-line improvements are FAST*.

Who can benefit from Velocity Manufacturing?
Velocity Manufacturing has been designed to help job shops and custom manufacturers build a capability no one in their industry has, capitalize on the capability by developing a holistic pricing strategy, and sustain the company through the development of an unrefusable offer.
How is Velocity Manufacturing different than other methodologies?
Lean and Six Sigma are all great tools, but they lack a focusing mechanism. Lean says to reduce waste. But where? Everywhere. Six Sigma says to reduce variability. But where? Everywhere. These approaches can take a long time to result in an increase in the bottom-line.
These methodologies lack a focusing mechanism.
With Velocity Manufacturing we focus our efforts where they can have the most leverage – your constraint.
Who is velocity manufacturing designed for?

Is there anyone who should NOT do Velocity Manufacturing?
Definitely, yes. People who do not want to take action and do the hard work required. Now, there’s nothing necessarily complex or hard, like say calculus, in Velocity Manufacturing. The hard part is having the courage to lead the change at your business and not accept any excuses from anyone. Yes, everyone is busy. Yes, they’re all doing the best they can. However, the fact is that if you’re implementing Velocity Manufacturing in your business, it should be THE priority for everyone involved in managing the company.
Velocity Manufacturing is NOT a flavor of the month nor is it an improvement methodology aimed at only one department in your business. It’s a holistic approach, aimed at improving the performance of your entire business.
Is the build, capitalize, and sustain sequence of Velocity Manufacturing the only way to implement?
For most shops, yes. However if your financial position is at risk and/or deteriorating, we may recommend you start working on the flow of money first. We will make this determination in your strategy session.
About Us
The Science of Business is a Theory of Constraints consultancy. We are TOCICO certified experts and the world’s leading authorities on applying Theory of Constraints to custom job shops and machine shops were the constraint can move frequently.
“Dr Lisa” Lang, the founder of Science of Business, worked with Dr Goldratt and discovered that job shops were a unique case. In job shops the moving constraint makes it difficult to achieve the goal — maximizing profitability. It’s difficult to chase and then leverage a moving target! So Science of Business was started to focus on these tough cases.
Since 2001 we have been putting our money where our mouth is. We do results based consulting whenever possible, typically for longer term partnerships. In those cases, 20% to 80% of our fees are based on your results. And these fees are based on actual bottom-line results, not just accomplishing some task. If your profits don’t increase then you don’t pay the bonuses. Period.
Our philosophy is simple – we help clients maximize profits. Our results oriented approach is driven by helping our clients to FOCUS on what’s necessary to achieve the results they are after and to LEVERAGE their existing resources to achieve those results. Most often clients are able to achieve more with their current resources.
We believe in working collaboratively with our clients to ensure transfer of skills and lasting changes. Our engagements are anything from a brief training or assessment to a 14 week coaching program to a Viable Vision project lasting 4 years or more.
