Your site is leaking money to losses no one can see.
Not the breakdowns. The 95-minute changeover that should take 22, the line running under speed every shift, the 5S that died in month two. The Cadence Standard is the 90-day operating rhythm that finds them and locks the fix. Built by an operator, not a consultant.
The Toolkit is ready today. The 90-day Playbook opens soon: first 100 founding members lock £97 (then £197).
- No consultant required
- No software to license
- No subscription

Most mid-market sites are leaking money to losses they can't see.
Not from breakdowns. From the routine stuff that nobody owns.
A changeover that should take 22 minutes that takes 95. A line running 4% under nameplate speed every shift. A 5S programme that died in month two.
The Cadence Standard is the working set of tools that fixes that, the same audit forms, FI Wave templates, SOPs and KPI dashboards world-class manufacturers use, packaged so any ops manager can pick them up and run with them Monday morning.
Real PDFs. Real spreadsheets. The same files I'd hand a new ops manager on Monday morning.

Answer all five to see your verdict.
The full 5S Audit is twenty-five questions, takes five minutes, and gives you a branded PDF.
- 01
Could a new operator find the right tool in under 30 seconds at your worst workstation?
- 02
Does everything on the line have a labelled home it returns to at end-of-shift?
- 03
Would a new leak, drip, or fault be obvious within 10 minutes of starting?
- 04
Are the audit standards posted at the workstation in a format the operator actually uses?
- 05
Did a 5S audit happen last week, and were the actions from the one before closed?
Two diagnostics. Both give you a branded PDF report you can take to Monday's huddle.
