John Boyle

It's an interesting path we have all taken to get where we are today. John has a very powerful background and it will be key to this trip. Read below to find out more about John.

John W. Boyle has contributed to product and process design improvements in trains, planes, automobiles, ships, and heavy equipment for over 20 years.

John began his career working at General Motors in early product design and competitive benchmarking.

In 1998, he joined Munro & Associates where he had the opportunity to work with clients on airliners, cargo ships, construction equipment design, and a new golf car.

From 2004-2008 John co-led the effort to improve Chrysler’s competitive benchmarking process. During this time Chrysler achieved a 25-40% design efficiency improvement on mature designs.  This improvement was driven by a 400% increase in ideas generated from the benchmarking process since completing this work at Chrysler, John took the Wall Process to other industries and continents. 

Working in the confectionery industry, he helped a manufacturer double its factory throughput in less than six months, and then used the Wall Process to re-launch a product line with 50% scrap reduction and 20% improved throughput. 

Working in Australia, he helped a cargo train manufacturer use the process for a 20% cost and weight reduction effort on a key product.  He then took the Wall to the company’s China manufacturing facility to communicate the changes to the staff and break language barriers.

John earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and a Master of Engineering in Industrial Ergonomics from the University of Michigan.
