OIRS™ Control
Apex Structure
Build Operational Stability
OIRS™ Control — Apex Structure is the tier for operations that need structure, trend visibility, and execution stability. It delivers expanded KPI coverage, signal detection, and standardized root cause discipline—so leaders stop reacting and start running the operation with control. Pricing is $599/month with a $1,797 one-time setup fee (billed once at onboarding).
Who this is for
Apex Structure is best for scaling operations where performance is inconsistent, leaders are forced into firefighting, and decisions happen too late because signals are not visible early enough.
Execution is inconsistent
Throughput varies by day, shift, or team. Problems repeat because controls and ownership are unclear.
Leaders are stuck reacting
Time is spent chasing issues instead of running a stable cadence with measurable control points.
KPIs exist but don’t drive action
Reports are lagging indicators. You need trends, thresholds, and routines that force early correction.
What’s included each month
Apex Structure delivers ongoing operational intelligence through automation. You receive repeatable dashboards, standardized tools, and structured insight—without needing to resubmit surveys each month. OIRS™ updates as your operation changes.
Expanded KPI Coverage
Broader KPI set mapped to execution risk, with clear definitions and baseline thresholds.
- KPI foundation + expanded coverage
- Category trends and drift signals
- Risk posture visibility
Trend & Signal Intelligence
Trend direction and volatility indicators that surface issues early—before customer or cost impact.
- Trend direction (improving / degrading)
- Volatility signals by category
- Top risk driver identification
Tooling Library (RCA + DMAIC aligned)
Access to standardized problem-solving tools designed for repeatable execution—not theory.
- Root Cause Analysis templates
- 5 Whys + Kaizen capture tools
- DMAIC-aligned workflow guidance
Forge Dashboard access (read-only)
You receive read-only access to the Forge Dashboard (OIRS™ module) designed to show score movement, KPI trends, drift/volatility signals, and top risk drivers. This is delivered as a portal even if you do not have Forge OES.
One-time setup (billed once)
Apex Structure includes a one-time setup fee of $1,797 (3× the monthly price). This activates expanded KPI mapping, trend/volatility rules, and Forge Dashboard provisioning so monthly updates run consistently.
Activation + provisioning
We activate Control-level scoring workflows and provision the enhanced Forge Dashboard views (read-only).
Expanded KPIs + thresholds
We map the expanded KPI set and establish baseline thresholds to support trend and volatility signals.
RCA workflow initialization
DMAIC-aligned RCA workflows and templates are activated with simple usage guidance for repeatable execution.
Common triggers that indicate this package
Apex Structure is the right fit when you need structure and early signals—not more meetings.
- You are learning about problems after they hit customers or cost.
- Recurring issues keep showing up without clear ownership and prevention.
- Performance changes by shift/team and there is no consistent operating rhythm.
- Dashboards report outcomes but don’t highlight constraints, risk, or drift.
What improves over 30 / 60 / 90–120 days
These are the most common outcomes when leaders use structured operational intelligence consistently.
OIRS™ posture is clear, KPIs are standardized, and leadership aligns on what matters most.
Trend drift becomes visible early enough to correct before customer impact or surprise cost.
Fewer recurring issues, clearer ownership, and more predictable throughput under pressure.

FAQ
Do we need Forge OES to access the Forge Dashboard?
No. This package includes a Forge Dashboard portal for OIRS™ delivery. Forge OES is a separate operational capture system that can be added when you need execution/inventory visibility and stronger signal inputs.
Is there a setup fee?
Yes. Apex Structure includes a one-time setup fee of $1,797 (3× the monthly price), billed once at onboarding to activate dashboards, signals, and workflows.
Do we have to re-take the OIRS™ diagnostic every month?
No. The diagnostic establishes a baseline. Monthly updates come from operational signals, KPI trends, and execution stability indicators.
Is Apex Structure a consulting package with weekly calls?
No. Apex Structure is automation-first operational intelligence. Human involvement is limited and reserved for premium add-ons when needed.
What’s the difference between Baseline and Control?
Baseline focuses on visibility and KPI foundation. Control adds structure: expanded KPIs, trend intelligence, risk drivers, and standardized problem-solving workflows.
