Principal Consultant - President
Gary J. Ainsworth
Having thrived in the high-volume manufacturing and having more than 30 years of experience in process and product development and new product introduction and commercialization, my vision is to manage and create processes for cost-effective, sustainable manufacturing, while leveraging supply chains and a company’s internal strengths. I’ve architected exits for three companies through advancing operational and product performance.
From Fortune 500 companies to startups, as an executive or consultant, I’m known for my ability to break down operations and technical workflows, identify and solve problems up front, analyze product and process designs for manufacturability, test and reliability. By identifying the essential Critical to Function (CTF) areas in the production’s design, process development and supply chains, while highlighting constraints, Arc Completa accelerates products to market and profit.
