— Customer focused
Allow the Voice of the Process speak. Then, scope solutions.
On the floor. In the schedule. On your side.
We listen to the customer first, then study the operation and interview the operators and technicians. From that, Bay 44 spends time analyzing fixes / findings and shares recommendations - both short term and long term.
/ Project Management
Facility needs, MES, Machinery & Automation
Our team has experience with automating existing machinery, bringing in automatic machines, MES design and deployments, optimizing internal processes, yield / product loss analysis, customer and internal labeling, lot number and product analysis tied to measurable output targets preparing your operation for further growth.
Scheduling, sequencing, and floor logic
Shift structures, work order sequencing, raw material storage and subsequent movement, and capacity constraints documented and rebuilt from the floor up—not imported from a template.
Written procedures that are actually useful
We have vast experience in heavy industry and FDA-regulated environments writing procedures, FMEAs, Change Control documentation, procedures, etc. that reflect how production actually runs—not how it was supposed to run when the equipment arrived.
Vendor alignment and lead time reduction
From sourcing audits to process risk analysis to delivery cadence restructuring, we tighten the upstream inputs that production schedules depend on. Remember, you can never fully inspect out quality defects. You must strive to design in quality at the top of the production line. This starts with your key suppliers.
Customer First. Voice of the Process next.
Shop floor: Align scope: Start work:
Constraint identification on-site
Outcome-scoped engagement
Embedded until the work is completed
We walk the floor first documenting bottlenecks, those tribal knowledge processes, interviewing operators and technicians. Those resources know more about the process than anyone else because they live it every day minute-by-minute.
Work is priced and scoped against a defined outcome. You know the deliverable, the timeline, and the measure of success up front.
Clear Expectations
We stay in the schedule until procedures are written, tested, and owned by your team. We leave when the work is documented, not when the visit ends.
State the problem.
We share possibilities.
Mid-market operations move too fast for open-ended engagements. Tell us what's broken, and we'll tell you exactly what addressing it looks like.
