Mission "We unlock capacity, eliminate waste, and turn chaotic operations into measurable flow."
Operational Excellence Consulting

Designed to flow.
Engineered for throughput.

G5 Group partners with CPG and manufacturing leaders to redesign operations from the floor up — applying LEAN thinking, process engineering, and concept-to-commissioning expertise that turns chaotic facilities into measurably efficient systems.

01 / Capabilities

From concept sketches to commissioned lines — a single operating partner across every phase of the build.

CAP — 01

Concept, Design & Development

Translate a business intent into facility-ready design — capacity modeling, equipment selection, room sequencing, and CapEx framing before a single weld is made.

CAP — 02

LEAN & Operational Efficiency

Value-stream mapping, waste elimination, and Kaizen-driven systems. Build cultures that improve themselves long after the engagement ends.

CAP — 03

Layout & Process Flow

Physical layout, line balancing, and routing optimization. Engineered space utilization that compresses cycle time without compressing quality.

CAP — 04

Continuous Improvement

Embed measurement loops, OEE tracking, and root-cause discipline. Replace firefighting with structured problem solving at every tier.

CAP — 05

Waste Reduction

Identify and eliminate the eight wastes: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilized talent, transportation, inventory, motion, and excess processing.

CAP — 06

CPG & Manufacturing Strategy

Operating model design for multi-state CPG. SKU rationalization, network footprint, co-man vs. in-house decisions backed by hard numbers.

02 / Fractional Work

Senior operating talent — at the rhythm your business actually needs.

Hiring a full-time executive is a heavyweight decision. Recruiting takes six months. Onboarding takes another three. The wrong hire costs a year. And many operational problems don't need a permanent seat — they need a steady hand for one or two quarters.

G5 embeds fractional operators and specialists directly into your team — typically one or two days a week — so you get senior-level execution without the long-term commitment, the package, or the equity dilution.

We've stood up production lines, rebuilt CI programs, and reorganized supply chains for companies that needed expert hands without a permanent C-suite addition.

The engagement scales with your need — start at a few days a month, ramp to full embedded leadership during a build or transformation, taper down once the system is self-sustaining.

BEN — 01
Cost Discipline

A fraction of a full-time leader's salary — without recruiter fees, signing bonuses, equity, or benefits load.

BEN — 02
Senior Expertise, On Demand

Engage decades of hands-on operating experience the day you sign — without committing to a permanent seat.

BEN — 03
Speed to Impact

No six-month search, no nine-month ramp. We walk the floor week one and move metrics by week four.

BEN — 04
Flexible Cadence

Scale up during a build or transformation, taper down when the system is steady. Your need, not our retainer.

BEN — 05
Independent Lens

An outside operator sees what internal teams stop noticing. No politics, no protected territory — just the truth.

BEN — 06
Knowledge Transfer

Every fractional engagement builds your team's capability. We leave behind systems, playbooks, and trained operators — not dependency.

03 / Methodology

The G5 method — diagnose, design, deploy, sustain.

01

Diagnose

Walk the floor. Map the flow. Quantify what's actually happening — not what's reported. Baseline OEE, cycle time, and waste before recommending a single change.

Phase · 2–4 weeks
02

Design

Build the target state. Layouts, process flows, SOPs, and metrics — engineered, modeled, and stress-tested before committing to capital or labor.

Phase · 4–8 weeks
03

Deploy

Execute on the floor with the team — not in a deck. Phased changeover, operator training, and live tuning. We stand the line up with you.

Phase · 6–16 weeks
04

Sustain

Hand off a self-improving system. Tier huddles, daily management, and the metrics infrastructure that prevents regression after we leave.

Phase · Ongoing
04 / Industries

Operationally complex. Regulated. Multi-state. We've lived it.

G5 Group's experience is rooted in multi-state CPG — the kind of operation where compliance, scale, and unit economics all collide. The methods transfer cleanly to any goods producer wrestling with the same forces.
