JPrime Consulting helps manufacturers, data centers, and growth companies turn messy data and fragile workflows into resilient platforms: higher throughput, lower power cost, and real-time visibility for the people running the business.
I’ve spent decades leading engineering and analytics teams in a global semiconductor manufacturer, building factory-scale systems that improved velocity, yield, and risk posture across multiple sites. Now I bring that playbook to mid-market operations, startups, and energy-intensive environments.
I’m Josh Prickett, a systems-level engineer and data leader who has spent more than 26 years inside one of the most demanding manufacturing environments on the planet. I have led global teams responsible for factory management systems, real-time prioritization logic, and analytics platforms that supported billions of dollars of output.
My work includes building the first cross-site lot-prioritization engines, virtual factory views that collapsed 10–15 minute status checks into under two minutes, and ML-driven shepherding systems that caught downstream issues before they burned wafers or schedule.
JPrime Consulting exists to bring that rigor and practicality to organizations that do not have a thousand-person engineering group behind them. You get senior-level architecture and hands-on implementation designed to fit your scale, budget, and existing tools.
Designed and deployed analytics and queue-management logic that reduced data-turn variability by ~38% and cut inter-quartile range from ~18 to ~12 hours. Combined with defect-detection improvements, this enabled earlier issue detection and avoided an estimated 1,000+ wafers of scrap per site each year.
Re-architected extraction and data-model layers using compression, partitioning, and in-memory techniques. The result: 10×+ faster reporting, real-time cycle-time forecasting, and the ability to replace hundreds of manual reports with consistent, algorithmic views trusted by senior leadership.
Led software, data, and DevOps teams with 100% retention and top-tier engagement scores by combining strong technical standards with psychologically safe, DevOps-driven practices. Mentored 40+ engineers into full-stack, data-literate problem solvers who could own problems end-to-end.
Systems and indicators I designed have been used to close hundreds of millions in operational risk, recover tens of millions in value through better prioritization and scrap avoidance, and keep multi-billion-dollar ramp programs on track. The same discipline now shows up in every JPrime engagement.
End-to-end analysis of your constraint tools, WIP behavior, and dispatch policies. We design practical logic and indicators that stabilize flow, reduce rework, and make cycle time predictable instead of mysterious.
Architecture and implementation for data pipelines, models, and dashboards that support sub-2-minute decisions, not weekly slide decks. Think: compressed pipelines, semantic models, and reusable components instead of report sprawl.
Modeling and analytics for data center and facility power, integrating measurement, forecasting, and scenario analysis. The goal: reduce cost per kWh of useful work, not just chase PUE on a slide.
Hard-nosed review of your data and analytics stack: storage layouts, compute patterns, BI usage, and integration strategy. We design concrete changes that lower run-rate spend while keeping performance and developer velocity intact.
Time-boxed investigations into a specific line, tool set, data platform, or power problem. You get quantified losses, prioritized opportunities, and a concrete roadmap that your team or mine can execute.
Design and hands-on delivery of new data models, APIs, automation logic, and dashboards. We integrate with your stack rather than forcing yet another platform into the mix.
Interim head-of-data / head-of-engineering support to stand up teams, hiring practices, and execution rhythms that stick after the engagement ends.
Targeted coaching for engineers, data scientists, and ops leaders on topics like distributed systems, manufacturing analytics, and building decision-grade dashboards.
Whether you are fighting a stubborn bottleneck, an ugly power bill, or a data platform that cannot keep up, a short working session is usually enough to map the real problem and outline options.
