Practical Manufacturing Consulting That Improves Flow, Clarity, and Profit

Todd Drummond Consulting helps manufacturers solve those problems with practical consulting, engineered time standards, facility and workflow planning, and clear training that helps teams perform with greater consistency.

While past services have been highly specialized for truss and wall panel operations, the same principles apply across many manufacturing environments. TDC is now expanding beyond that niche to help a broader range of manufacturers improve performance, reduce waste, and strengthen profit.

The goal is simple: help your company work better, faster, and with greater clarity.

Operational Improvement Consulting

TDC provides practical consulting to help manufacturers identify what is slowing performance and fix what matters most. This includes reviewing workflow, bottlenecks, labor use, process delays, handoffs, and daily operating habits that affect output, cost, and consistency.

The focus is not on theory or long reports. The focus is on practical changes that improve flow, execution, and profit.

Best for: manufacturers that want a clear operational review, practical recommendations, and a stronger path to measurable improvement.

Time Standards and Labor Clarity

Accurate labor standards help companies make better decisions. TDC helps manufacturers improve labor clarity for pricing, scheduling, productivity measurement, staffing, and margin protection.

When labor is understood correctly, leaders can make better choices with greater confidence.

Best for: manufacturers that want stronger labor costing, more accurate scheduling, better performance measurement, and clearer capacity planning.

Facility, Equipment, and Workflow Planning

TDC provides independent guidance for facility planning, equipment selection, workflow design, material flow, and expansion strategy. The focus is on what fits your operation best, not what a vendor wants to sell.

Better planning up front helps prevent costly layout mistakes, poor flow, wasted motion, and expensive rework later.

Best for: manufacturers planning a new facility, an expansion, a major equipment purchase, or a workflow redesign.

Granny Rules Workshops, Training, and Speaking

The Granny Rules framework turns Lean and operational improvement into practical methods people can understand and apply. It simplifies training, improves clarity, and helps teams reduce confusion, follow better standards, and improve daily execution.

This training works well for manufacturers seeking practical education in visual management, standard work, workplace organization, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. It is also a strong fit for leadership sessions, workshops, and speaking engagements.

Best for: manufacturers and industry groups that want practical training that is simple, useful, and easy to apply.

Experience That Started in a Specialized Market

TDC’s consulting background includes deep experience in truss and wall panel manufacturing, where labor accuracy, flow, scheduling, and operational discipline directly affect margin. That specialized work laid a strong foundation in practical improvement methods that apply well beyond a single niche.

Today, TDC brings that same direct, practical approach to a broader manufacturing audience.
