About Forthuber Systems
Forthuber Systems partners with manufacturing and supply chain firms to improve EBIT through a systems-thinking approach to operations strategy. Led by MIT-trained operations leader Russ Forthuber, we bring deep expertise in supply chain, manufacturing, and operations optimization. We believe that well-designed operations should run smoothly and predictably, minimize firefighting, and focus on continuous improvement.
Our comprehensive approach spans the full lifecycle of operational improvement, from diagnostics to sustained performance management. We work closely with our clients to identify high-leverage opportunities and co-create processes, data systems, KPIs, dashboards, incentives, and feedback loops that drive measurable, lasting performance improvements.
