The Engineer Behind
The Results

My journey started in Production Mechanical Engineering — designing systems, solving physics problems, and understanding how things actually work. From there, I pursued a Six Sigma Post-Graduate specialization, an MBA in Business Management, and certificate programs at HarvardX (edX) — Data Science: Probability and Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies.

But education was never the end goal — application was. Since 2012, I've applied these frameworks hands-on, trained 500+ professionals (150+ certified), published two books on the methodology, built WeCazza (a SaaS platform now used by home service teams), and delivered 35%+ average capacity gains for clients.

The 8-Step Problem-Solving Method

A proprietary framework combining Lean Six Sigma and Queuing Theory

Most improvement efforts fail because they jump to solutions before understanding the problem. The 8-Step Method is a disciplined, sequential approach that ensures every organizational problem is properly diagnosed, systematically solved, and permanently resolved.

This isn't theory — it's the same framework I've applied hands-on since 2012 to deliver consistent, measurable results.

01

Clarify the Problem

Define scope, impact, and boundaries

02

Break Down

Decompose into manageable components

03

Set Targets

Define measurable success criteria

04

Root Cause Analysis

Identify true causes, not symptoms

05

Develop Solutions

Design countermeasures that address root causes

06

Implement

Execute with discipline and tracking

07

Evaluate Results

Measure against targets, validate impact

08

Standardize

Lock in gains, prevent regression

Driving Growth, Amplifying Impact

Real outcomes from real engagements — measured in dollars saved, capacity gained, and problems permanently solved.

Within 3 months, we improved our capacity by 35%. His systematic approach to identifying bottlenecks and implementing AI-powered solutions saved us thousands of dollars and time on tasks inside our office.

Eduardo Galvao
Business Owner

Working with JJ Andrade was a game-changer for our production line. His integration of digital technologies and Lean principles reduced our defect rate from 8.5% to 1.2% and increased overall equipment effectiveness by 42%. The AI-driven predictive maintenance system he implemented prevented 15 potential equipment failures, saving us over $850K in downtime costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about working together.

What industries do you work with?

I work across manufacturing, logistics, professional services, SaaS, and home services. The Lean Six Sigma and Queuing Theory frameworks I use are industry-agnostic — they apply wherever there are processes, bottlenecks, and measurable outcomes.

How quickly can I expect to see results?

Most clients see measurable improvements within 60–90 days. Quick wins (cost reduction, bottleneck removal) often appear in the first 30 days. Larger systemic changes — like capacity optimization or AI integration — typically show full ROI within 3–6 months.

What's the difference between your consulting and traditional management consulting?

Traditional consultants deliver slide decks. I deliver results. My approach is hands-on: I use engineering discipline, published frameworks (the 8-Step Method), and purpose-built technology to implement changes — not just recommend them. Every framework I teach, I've applied hands-on in real operations since 2012 — and taught to 500+ professionals.

Do you work with small businesses or only large companies?

Both. My methodology scales from solo operators to enterprise manufacturing plants. Small businesses often see the fastest ROI because there's less bureaucracy between diagnosis and implementation.

What does a typical engagement look like?

It starts with a free discovery call where I assess your challenges. From there, I conduct a diagnostic phase (1–2 weeks), followed by a structured improvement plan using my 8-Step Problem-Solving Method. Implementation is collaborative — I work alongside your team, not in isolation.

How do you integrate AI into business operations?

I deploy AI for predictive maintenance, intelligent scheduling, automated reporting, and decision support. The key is identifying where AI creates real value versus where simpler solutions work better. Not every problem needs AI — but when it does, I build systems that run autonomously.
