About Trevor Calder

WHAT I DO: I work with manufacturers and project-based organizations that want to improve their performance. WHO I WORK WITH: Organizations with production environments that are Hi-Mix, Low Volume, Engineered-To-Order, Make-To-Order, Make-To-Stock, and job shops. WHY IT WORKS: Traditionally, the approach in complex manufacturing environments has been to 1) Prioritize based on a work order’s want date. 2) Plan using finite scheduling algorithms that assume everything is known and will go perfectly to plan.3) Execute the schedule.Production environments are so dynamic. As soon as the schedule finishes running, the assumptions used to determine the outcome are no longer valid.We take a different approach, we 1) Prioritize based on each work order’s relative risk of being late.2) Execute using priorities that are calculated in real-time.3) Plan now, so you can address issues in your simulated future using predictive analyticsYour on-time delivery goes up, WIP goes down, and cash flow and financial performance improve.Plus, you don’t need to replace your ERP system. Who has the time (and money) to do that?WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT: Our approach acknowledges and anticipates variability to protect your customer’s want dates. HOW IT WORKS: We'll start with a discovery call to help you better understand your unique situation and challenges. We then tailor a demo and take things from there if you like what you see.READY TO TALK? Reach out to me directly here on LinkedIn or visit theexecutionfactor.io

    Pinnacle Strategies Management practices could be thought of as a strange mix between Enron and Captain Francesco Schettino from the Costa Concordia who saved himself first, abandoning this passengers, crew and ship.Funds were not accrued and the business budgeted on optimistic and aggressive sales projections. Outstanding salaries and expenses (personally funded by employees) were used to pay top level management and fund new hires which resulted in most employees being owed money and forced to take legal action.Many ex-staff around the world have legal judgments. Our challenge is enforcing them. Please reach out if you can help with the enforcement of the judgement.Most of my time was spent working in the Oil and Gas area, improving the execution of the fabrication of subsea components and structures for the Chevron Wheatstone Project (Approx.$300M USD). Several of our client’s staff, and Chevron's staff said “Wheatstone would not be where it is today without your efforts”.Delivery Managed the UCON4-12 connection system in Malaysia. Actual results compared to the base-line schedule indicate a 15% lead-time reduction.Improved the management and oversaw the delivery of Connection System Tooling between Norway, Singapore and Malaysia.
