Lean Manufacturing —
TPS-grounded, plant-floor ready.

Codified TPS workflows refined across 21 years inside Toyota by Jonathas de Oliveira da Cruz — for U.S. SMB manufacturers in automotive parts, electronics assembly, and metallurgy.

Off-the-shelf MES fails to encode TPS depth.
Standard MES platforms capture telemetry but do not encode loss-tree taxonomy or codified TWI certification.
McKinsey, Industry 4.0 (2022)

Four modules. One codified framework.

Telemetry capture, TPS methodology, and guided onboarding — a combination uncommon in the U.S. SMB manufacturing software category.

Plant-Floor Diagnostic Engine

Live root-cause analysis under the codified rule library.

  • OPC-UA / SCADA / MES telemetry bridges (via certified integration partner ecosystem)
  • Severity-weighted loss detection
  • Direct A3 generation from rule fires

KPI & Loss-Tree Dashboard

OEE, FTT, MTBF, plus the canonical seven wastes + mura + muri.

  • Targeted scorecards per line
  • Loss-tree drill into A3 countermeasures
  • Methodology version pinning

TWI Training Track

Job Instruction · Job Relations · Job Methods, end-to-end certification.

  • Cohort certification under codified protocols
  • Per-operator module tracking
  • Methodology-curator review checkpoints

Health & Safety Compliance Layer

OSHA-mapped — overhead-crane, forklift, fire-rescue, press-shop.

  • Audit workbench with append-only log
  • Incident timeline + countermeasures
  • Operator certification expiry tracking

Why this works.

The rules library, the loss-tree taxonomy, the FTT and OEE calculation conventions, and the quarterly methodology refresh are authored by Jonathas de Oliveira da Cruz. The platform delivers guided implementation under that framework via certified implementers and methodology-curator review checkpoints.

Every customer plant runs on a pinned methodology version for audit stability, with guided onboarding for 90 days and a quarterly refresh cadence under the methodology owner's review on major releases.
