DECISION & ACCOUNTABILITY ARCHITECTURE (MANUFACTURING)

Authority, Timing, Escalation Control
Operational Execution Architecture Service — Non-Licensed

What Is Decision & Accountability Architecture (Manufacturing)?

This service defines who decides what, when, with what authority, and how escalation resolves without throughput loss—inside production environments.

It does not coach leadership.
It designs enforceable decision pathways aligned to production reality.

Most factories fail silently when:

  • escalation timing exceeds the line’s tolerance for delay

  • engineering, quality, and operations override each other

  • decision ownership is unclear at interfaces

  • stop/go authority is ambiguous

  • accountability diffuses during instability

This service corrects those mechanisms.

Why This Is Needed

Common conditions:

  • escalations stall throughput

  • conflicting directives destabilize execution

  • “no one owns failure” at handoffs

  • decisions loop without closure

  • production runs on informal authority rather than defined control

Why Decision Architecture Matters

Decision architecture determines:

  • whether containment happens fast enough to prevent propagation

  • whether constraints stay stable

  • whether exceptions resolve or become chronic firefighting

  • whether leadership regains control without constant overrides

How TJEG Performs the Architecture

  1. Decision Rights Mapping
    Mapping of real vs declared authority.

  2. Escalation Path Timing Design
    Design of:

  • time-bounded escalation rules

  • resolution ownership

  • closure requirements

  1. Stop/Go Authority Model
    Definition of:

  • who can stop production

  • what triggers require stops

  • how restart authorization is governed

  1. Interface Ownership Rules
    Definition of:

  • handoff ownership

  • acceptance criteria

  • accountability continuity across functions

What This Delivers

  • Decision rights map (floor/engineering/quality/ops)

  • Escalation timing and closure architecture

  • Stop/go authority rules

  • Interface ownership rules

  • Daily command cadence for exception handling

Who This Is For

  • Plants with constant overrides and stalled escalations

  • Startups where authority is informal and unstable

  • Programs with multi-party governance and unclear control

Engagement Characteristics

  • Fast, enforceable architecture

  • Non-financial; non-legal

  • Designed to reduce decision latency and stabilize output

Cost & Commercial Structure

Typical range: $35,000 – $120,000
Pricing depends on governance complexity and production criticality.
No contingent fees. No equity.

Compliance Boundary

Operational execution architecture only. No HR determinations, no legal advice, no regulated compliance representation.

Start the Architecture

If escalation and authority conflict are stalling throughput, this is the correct engagement.
