Most operations don't fail all at once. They drift past the redline: inventory out of balance, processes without controls, maintenance reactive instead of planned, safety risks hiding in plain sight.

What We Do

Full-Spectrum
Operational Consulting

Senior practitioners with deep industry roots in CPG and food manufacturing. Every engagement is hands-on; we work inside your operation, not around it.

Inventory Balancing

Resolve simultaneous excess and stockout conditions across multi-SKU operations, then install the controls that stop it recurring.

Strategic Procurement

Supplier rationalization, contract negotiation, and documented savings for companies building the procurement function from the ground up.

Operations & Process Design

Lean methodology, KPI frameworks, and SOPs designed for the realities of a food or CPG production floor.

Maintenance Reliability

Move from reactive break-fix to preventative and predictive maintenance that protects your production schedule.

Industrial Safety

Safety program design, audit, and culture-building that catch incidents in the process before they reach a person.

Fractional Leadership

Senior procurement or operations leadership on a fractional basis, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

MRO & Indirect Procurement

Bring structure to the spend nobody owns, so uptime never rests on emergency orders and tribal knowledge.

Who We Serve

Built for CPG &
Food Manufacturing

Our core practice serves small and mid-size CPG and food manufacturers: companies where complexity has outpaced process and every dollar of improvement goes straight to the bottom line. Our field operations practice extends that same discipline to contractors and heavy equipment operators.

$10M to $250M RevenueComplex enough to need senior expertise, lean enough that every dollar counts.
Multi-SKU Environments100+ SKUs where inventory imbalance hides in the complexity.
Food & Meat ManufacturingWe know your regulatory environment, your commodities, and your margins.
Operations Under PressureGrowing fast, recently acquired, or rebuilding after disruption.
No Procurement TeamCompanies where one person owns it all; we've been that person.
Safety Culture GapsOperations where safety is reactive rather than built into daily process.
Leadership

The People Who Will
Be In Your Plant

Every engagement is led by a senior practitioner who has personally owned the function they are improving. No junior consultants, no learning curves on your dime.

When the Problem Is Bigger
Than a Process Fix

Redline Operations Group has partnered with APSentra to bring another option to companies struggling with disconnected systems, spreadsheets, departmental data silos, and manual processes. APSentra works alongside existing ERP and business systems to connect information across the organization into a single operational view, without requiring companies to replace the technology they already have.

One platform. End-to-end visibility. Better control.

Why Redline Partnered With APSentra

After more than 25 years working in supply chain and manufacturing, I've seen companies invest heavily in ERP systems and still rely on spreadsheets, emails, shared drives, and tribal knowledge to actually run the business. APSentra addresses that gap in a way I haven't seen before. That's why Redline Operations Group chose to partner with them.

In every operation there is a redline: the threshold between controlled performance and breakdown. We find it. We control it. We keep you on the right side of it.

In procurement, operations, maintenance, and safety, there is always a redline. Redline Operations Group exists to find it in yours.
