Operational Excellence
Make execution reliable at scale.
Luna Sol helps leaders turn operating priorities into clear standards, accountable decisions and a performance rhythm that holds across teams and locations.

WHAT WE DO
Connect the business problem to an executable response.
A missed target is often the visible symptom of an operating system that is difficult to run. Measures disagree, reviews generate activity without closure, and frontline teams inherit competing priorities. We start with the decisions people need to make, then connect the measures, routines and ownership required to execute them.
The work can include an operating diagnostic, a redesigned review cadence, standard work or a recovery program. Each engagement defines the evidence required to move from a reported improvement to a verified change in operating performance.
Operating model & standard work
Clarify how work moves between teams, which decisions belong at each level and what must be escalated. Translate that design into practical routines and standards.
TYPICAL OUTPUTS
Decision rights, workflow standards and escalation rules
Performance management
Rebuild scorecards and reviews around a consistent metric definition, an accountable owner and a decision. Connect leading indicators to the outcomes they are intended to influence.
TYPICAL OUTPUTS
Metric dictionary, review cadence and action register
Recovery & execution assurance
Structure recovery around validated gaps, available capacity and explicit commitments. Make slippage, dependencies and completion evidence visible before a deadline is missed.
TYPICAL OUTPUTS
Recovery plan, commitment tracker and verification gates
OUR APPROACH
Diagnose precisely. Design for use. Verify what changes.
A practical sequence, adapted to the operating question and the evidence available.
01
Locate the constraint
Observe the workflow, reconcile the baseline and identify where delay, rework or unclear ownership limits performance.
02
Design the operating mechanism
Specify the decision, owner, standard, review frequency and escalation trigger. Keep the mechanism usable by the people doing the work.
03
Test in the operating environment
Trial the change at a defined scope. Track adoption, process behavior and mature outcomes against an explicit comparison.
04
Transfer ownership & sustain
Equip managers to run the cadence, verify completion and revise standards as conditions change. Establish when to intervene and when to leave a stable process alone.
EXECUTIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE
The work behind the approach.
These cases document real work Ryan Miller performed at Amazon in prior executive roles. Each report describes the operating challenge, his contribution and the evidence supporting its conclusions.

Network Quality Governance
An anonymized project case study of a delivery network’s quality-review mechanism: how metric definitions, action verification and source precision shape operating decisions.

Operating Close & Workbook Governance
An anonymized project case study of a shared operating workbook: repairing formulas, reconciling monthly inputs, preserving owner accountability and defining when the management view is ready for release.

Operating Commitments & Accountability
An operating-project case on repairing accountability in a distributed delivery network. It examines a commitment audit, reconciles conflicting performance interpretations, and defines an auditable path from a reported action to a mature customer outcome.

Performance Reporting & Action Alignment
An anonymized project case study of executive performance reporting: rebuilding a business-line response around one recovery gap, explicit action coverage, accountable owners and evidence that can support a decision.
Read the case study

Recovery Execution & Deadline Readiness
An operating-project case on a pre-peak loss-reduction plan that tested its own sizing, success metrics and delivery dependencies. It connects overlapping defect populations, executable controls and the evidence required to commit a deadline-bound result.
Read the case study

Recovery Forecast & Delivery Commitments
An operating-project case on answering an executive return-to-plan question. It reconciles competing plan rows, conflicting reporting series, recovery arithmetic and action dependencies, then designs a test of the forecast-to-commitment workflow.

Recovery Forecasting & Benefit Attribution
An anonymized project case study of a service-network reforecast: reconciling intervention bookings, isolating model revisions and defining the evidence required to turn an operating commitment into defensible performance credit.
Read the case study

Recovery Planning & Commitment Assurance
An anonymized project case study of a service-network recovery plan: reconciling competing targets, testing station-level feasibility and connecting executive commitments to accountable operating actions.
Read the case study

Recovery Roadmap & Outcome Alignment
An executive recovery-plan case that separates line specificity, calendar feasibility, input-response evidence and approval. It tests when a quantified roadmap supports a commitment.

Standard Work & Escalation Design
An operating-project case on connecting defect categories to governing procedures, practical actions and accountable owners. It examines a policy-coverage diagnostic, corrects its causal interpretation and designs a controlled test of evidence-based routing.
