About APG

Operational expertise. Measurable results.

Absolute Performance Group works directly with operations leaders to identify constraints, eliminate waste, and build the frontline capability that sustains improvement after we leave.

Mission

Why we exist

Most improvement initiatives stall because they're designed for consultants, not operators. They produce reports, not results. They require months of engagement before anything changes on the floor.

APG was built on a different premise: that the fastest path to measurable throughput gains is a focused, on-site sprint led by someone who has stood on the floor of a real operation and solved real problems.

The Throughput Accelerator™ is the product of that premise — a 72-hour engagement designed to deliver results you can measure before we leave your facility.

Methodology

The methodology

The Throughput Accelerator™ is grounded in the Theory of Constraints and Lean Six Sigma — two of the most proven frameworks in operational improvement. Every sprint follows the same three-phase structure.

Day 1

Diagnose

Identify the constraint, map the workflow, and observe the operation firsthand. No assumptions — only what the floor tells us.

Day 2

Improve

Eliminate waste, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and implement quick wins with the team in real time.

Day 3

Stabilize

Establish daily management practices, set performance measures, and hand off a concrete action plan the team can execute independently.
