POWERS Partners with Global Leader in the Defense, Aerospace, and Security Sector to Strengthen Productivity in Critical Manufacturing Operations

Global

January 15, 2026, Atlanta, GA — POWERS has partnered with a global manufacturing leader operating across the defense, aerospace, and security sectors to strengthen its Management Operating System and frontline leadership capability.

The engagement is focused on improving consistency and control in complex manufacturing environments where precision and disciplined execution are required every shift.

The manufacturer operates in highly regulated, mission-critical conditions. Performance is measured not only by output, but by strict adherence to standards, tight tolerances, and uncompromising quality requirements. In this setting, productivity gains are not accelerated. They are earned through system discipline, leadership clarity, and the ability to execute correctly, hour after hour.

POWERS will work side by side with site leadership and frontline teams to strengthen daily management routines, clarify accountability at the point of execution, and improve how performance issues are identified and addressed in real time.

The focus is not on short-term lift. It is building the operating rigor required to sustain performance under constant operational and regulatory pressure.

Sean Hart, CEO of POWERS, said,

“In high-consequence manufacturing environments, there is no margin for inconsistency. Productivity comes from disciplined systems and leaders who can run them with precision every day. This organization understands that reality, and our work together is centered on reinforcing the management routines and leadership behaviors that allow performance to hold when the stakes are highest.”

The engagement emphasizes practical application on the shop floor. Management expectations are translated into repeatable behaviors at the line and shift levels, where execution is actually carried out. By strengthening the connection between leadership intent and frontline action, the work is designed to improve production stability, elevate leadership effectiveness, and support sustained productivity in some of the world’s most demanding manufacturing environments.

About POWERS

POWERS helps manufacturers operating in high-consequence, mission-critical environments convert operational stability into sustained performance gains. Our work begins where execution is most critical, at the shift and line level, where precision must hold hour by hour and leadership presence matters.

POWERS designs and implements disciplined Management Operating Systems that bring clarity to priorities, accountability to action, and consistency to execution.

We work side by side with leadership teams and frontline supervisors in real operating conditions, strengthening daily management routines and reinforcing the behaviors required to perform reliably in complex, regulated environments.

DPS, our Digital Production System, supports this work by making performance visible as work is being executed. Leaders and teams can see where plans are holding, where they are not, and where intervention is required before issues compound. This real-time visibility enables faster decisions, stronger follow-through, and sustained accountability long after initial improvements are achieved.
