About Kevin Kohls and Kohls Consulting

I worked 25 years at General Motors, consulting, industry, and health care, striving to improve profitability through continuous improvement tools, including TOC, Lean, TOC, Simulation, etc.

I developed the Throughput Improvement Process at GM in 1989, which is still in use today. This process and my work with GM research helped GM win the Franz Edelman INFORMS reward in 2005. It accounted for more than $6B in Profits. 

M team and I had similar success in Automated Data Collection for Throughput, Project Management, Scheduling, Engineering To Order performance, Aerospace Manufacturing, Insurance, Healthcare, etc. TOC solutions have many solutions for the problems organizations face today. 

My Goal is to help a company realize that there are things you accepted that are true but are - so much so that they damage the decisions you make every day. Understand these things and create a sizable, sustainable competitive advantage. This advantage will be significant enough to leave industry observers and their competition wondering, "How the hell did they do that? And how is anyone going to catch them?"

But if I put these on a website, you might think I was nuts. Here's a challenge. No one in your organization knows how to make a correct financial decision.

Maybe not so nuts. Perhaps a good time to drop us a line. 

Specialties: Theory of Constraints, Simulation, Demand Driven MRP, Lean, Robotic Process Automation, Training, and Automated Data Collection.
