About
Cores SOlutions
C.O.R.E.S. Solutions was built from the floor up by practitioners who’ve lived it and not who just taught it. With more than 40 years inside Toyota and decades coaching across North America, we know what holds under pressure and what falls apart.
01. Stratedgy
Our approach is grounded in real-world experience, applying Lean and TPS principles where they matter most: on the floor, with real people, solving real problems. From metal fabrication and machining to food and beverage, we’ve helped teams cut waste, streamline daily operations, and scale without sacrificing quality.
02. Execution
From metal fabrication and machining to food and beverage, we’ve helped teams cut waste, streamline daily operations, and scale without sacrificing quality.
We’ve also supported MES and ERP rollouts, bridging the gap between technology, leadership, and execution. Whether it’s refining tool setups, improving kitchen flow, or driving shop floor accountability, we build systems that last.
This mindset applies across industries because clarity, flow, and strong leadership matter whether you’re moving parts, people, or product.
03. impact
Through C.O.R.E.S. Solutions, we now partner with organizations committed to lasting improvement, not just results for the next quarter, but transformation for the long haul.
We help teams fix what isn’t working and build what will last. From the floor up, we embed Lean and TPS into the way you operate to ensure improvements that stick.
