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.
Translate a business intent into facility-ready design — capacity modeling, equipment selection, room sequencing, and CapEx framing before a single weld is made.
Value-stream mapping, waste elimination, and Kaizen-driven systems. Build cultures that improve themselves long after the engagement ends.
Physical layout, line balancing, and routing optimization. Engineered space utilization that compresses cycle time without compressing quality.
Embed measurement loops, OEE tracking, and root-cause discipline. Replace firefighting with structured problem solving at every tier.
Identify and eliminate the eight wastes: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilized talent, transportation, inventory, motion, and excess processing.
Operating model design for multi-state CPG. SKU rationalization, network footprint, co-man vs. in-house decisions backed by hard numbers.
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.
A fraction of a full-time leader's salary — without recruiter fees, signing bonuses, equity, or benefits load.
Engage decades of hands-on operating experience the day you sign — without committing to a permanent seat.
No six-month search, no nine-month ramp. We walk the floor week one and move metrics by week four.
Scale up during a build or transformation, taper down when the system is steady. Your need, not our retainer.
An outside operator sees what internal teams stop noticing. No politics, no protected territory — just the truth.
Every fractional engagement builds your team's capability. We leave behind systems, playbooks, and trained operators — not dependency.
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.
Build the target state. Layouts, process flows, SOPs, and metrics — engineered, modeled, and stress-tested before committing to capital or labor.
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.
Hand off a self-improving system. Tier huddles, daily management, and the metrics infrastructure that prevents regression after we leave.
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.
