Fractional COO leadership and operating systems for small and midsize manufacturers, PE-backed and independently owned, roughly $10M–$75M in revenue. Built by an operator with 22+ years running plants, not a generalist consultant.
Interstitial Operations Group is a manufacturing operations consulting firm. We put fractional COO leadership inside small and midsize manufacturers to close the gap between what ownership plans and what the floor executes.
Where output is lost, why, and the daily discipline that keeps it recovered.
Daily management, KPIs, escalation and a meeting rhythm that holds.
Planned, measured maintenance in place of reactive repair.
Supervisors and frontline leads with clear standards and the training to run their shift.

Small leadership behaviors become evidence. Repeated consistently, they build credibility, reinforce standards, and eventually change the way an operation works.
