Urgent stop-gap service — separate from the four-step progression.

Sound familiar?

Something's on fire. A key customer's threatening to pull the business, scrap's out of control, a launch is sideways, or you're missing delivery and corporate wants answers yesterday. You don't need a six-month culture journey right now. You need the bleeding stopped, this week.

What is it?

Triage & Turnaround is fast, hands-on help when a plant is in trouble. Quality's slipping, deliveries are late, costs are running away, or a launch is failing, and it has to be fixed now. We come in quick, contain the damage, find what's actually causing it, and put in fixes that hold, so the same fire doesn't start back up next month.

How does it work?

Three phases. Take all three, or just the one you need.

First, we stop the bleeding. Immediate containment, so bad parts don't reach your customer and the problem stops getting worse while we work the cause.

Then we find the real one. Not the symptom everybody's been chasing for weeks. The actual root, using practical problem-solving right on the floor where it's happening.

Then we make it permanent. Corrective actions that get standardized and built into the work, so the fix survives after we leave and the metric doesn't quietly creep back.

Most turnarounds run three to six weeks, not months. And if you're short a leader while you're in the thick of it, we can embed someone to run the area until you've hired.

What changes?

The immediate crisis comes under control. Bad parts stop shipping, the phone stops ringing, and you can breathe again.

But the bigger win is the second one. Because we kill the root cause and standardize the fix, the problem doesn't come back next quarter wearing a different hat. You're not paying to solve the same fire twice. And your team sees exactly how it was done, so the next one needs a lot less of us.

Why planet LEAN?

Fast and flexible. Take one phase or all three, embed us or just borrow the method. We move at the speed the crisis actually demands.

We fix it so it stays fixed. Plenty of people can contain a problem and hand you a bill. The reason a plant lands in triage twice is that nobody ever finished the job on the root cause. We do, and we standardize it, so it holds.

And we bring the same discipline we'd teach your team anyway. A turnaround with us isn't only a rescue. It's a live look at how your plant could run once the fire's out.
