CauseLogic Consulting

Floor-level quality & operations consulting.

Practical, real-world problem-solving for Quality, Plant, and General Managers at Tier 1–3 automotive suppliers. We work the line with your team — not slideware in a conference room.

Services

Where we make plants money

Every engagement starts with a plant walk and ends with a measurable change in your numbers.

Root Cause & CAPA

Structured 8D, 5-Why and fishbone investigations that find the real cause — and corrective actions that actually hold.

Audit Readiness

ISO 9001 → IATF 16949 transitions, VDA 6.3 and ISO 14001 gap assessments, mock audits, and findings closure before the registrar arrives.

Scrap & COPQ Reduction

Quantify the true cost of poor quality across scrap, sort, rework and warranty — then attack the biggest dollars first.

Complaint Reduction

Drive down customer complaints and escapes with robust problem-solving and cross-department leadership that earns real buy-in.

Internal & Layered Audits

Internal audit programs and LPAs that catch drift early and satisfy customer-specific requirements — built to be sustained.

Mentoring & Training

Hands-on coaching for your quality engineers and supervisors so the capability stays in the building, not on a retainer.

How we work

A system, not a one-time fix

We don't parachute in for a week and disappear. We diagnose, implement with your team, and build the accountability that keeps it fixed.

1

Assess

A plant walk and data review to see where you're really losing time, parts, and dollars.

2

Diagnose

Chase symptoms to root cause with structured problem-solving alongside your process owners.

3

Implement

Robust corrective actions, updated work instructions, and trained people — done on the floor.

4

Sustain

Internal audits and monthly accountability check-ins so the gains hold long after we leave.

Case studies

Real plants. Real numbers.
