System Stress Tests & Reliability Diagnostics

Large industrial and manufacturing organizations depend on tightly coupled systems—equipment, people, schedules, maintenance, and supply chains—where small failures propagate quickly and quietly.

Mahwikizi & Co.’s System Stress Test is a diagnostic review designed to identify where operational structure, asset utilization, and escalation pathways unintentionally undermine throughput, reliability, or safety.

This work is designed for leadership teams and boards overseeing capital-intensive, mission-critical operations.

What the Review Examines

• Asset utilization and bottleneck formation

• Maintenance escalation and deferred risk

• Scheduling logic and throughput constraints

• Staffing dependencies and coverage fragility

• Points where operational strain intersects with safety, quality, or delivery commitments

What This Is Not

• Not a lean transformation

• Not a performance management initiative

• Not an engineering redesign

• Not a public or workforce-facing review

Deliverables

• System Reliability & Throughput Map

• Bottleneck & Escalation Risk Summary

• Asset Utilization Snapshot

• Key-Person Dependency Indicators

• Executive Brief for Board or Operating Committee

Typical Engagement

• Single facility or production line: $30k–$60k

• Multi-site or system-wide review: $100k+

• Ongoing reliability advisory: monthly retainer

  *Ranges above are illustrative and based on recent institutional engagements.

  Final scope and fees are determined after an initial diagnostic conversation.

Why Institutions Engage

Because reliability failures erode margins, safety, and trust long before they appear in financials or incident reports.
