For protein plant, operations, and maintenance leaders

Your supervisors touch the money every shift. Most have never been shown what it's worth.

A short, practical course that teaches frontline supervisors the math of the floor: yield, efficiency, and people in dollars, and how to read the P&L they move every shift. Production and maintenance, side by side. Built by an operator with 32 years in maintenance and operations leadership.

The money nobody puts a dollar on

In a protein plant moving a million pounds a week

$20,000+
One point of yield, every week
$1,500
One hour of a line down
$4,000+
One person who quits

Example numbers. Yours may be higher or lower. Every one of them costs something.

What your supervisors learn

The math of the floor

Lesson 1

The P&L

In plain English

What came in, what went out, what's left. How to read a real plant P&L and find the lines their shift moves.

Lesson 2

Scoreboards

Profit center vs. cost center

How their plant keeps score, and why cost per pound is the P&L in one number.

Lesson 3

Yield

In dollars

Loss that adds value vs. loss to chase. Weight yield vs. value yield. Why not every pound is worth the same.

Lesson 4

Efficiency

In dollars

Pounds per labor hour, the loaded labor rate, and what one hour of downtime really costs.

Lesson 5

People

In dollars

The real cost of a quit and of overtime, and the cheapest fix in the plant.

Lesson 6

The Balance

How the numbers move together

Why a win on one number can be a loss on the rest, and the check that catches it before it costs you.

Built for the floor, not the classroom

How it works

  • Short video lessons, built to fit a busy plant schedule
  • Production and maintenance supervisors learn together
  • A workbook with real P&L practice and dollar math
  • A floor calculator to price yield, downtime, and turnover
  • Supervisors put dollars on their own line's numbers
  • Run it self-paced or with an in-plant facilitator

Note: You can also book me to deliver this training live at your plant. Book a call

Each seat is licensed to one supervisor. Enrolled supervisors can also join a small learning community with leaders from other plants.

Why a waitlist

Help decide what comes next

I built this as part of a leadership program for one protein company. The math of the floor has turned out to be the most powerful part. Before I open it to other plants, I want to hear from the people who would use it.

A few quick questions about your plant and how you run it today, so I teach what your supervisors actually need. Founding plants get reduced pricing and a say in how it's delivered.
