INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER · OPERATOR · BUILDER

Progress,
engineered.

I make complex work simpler, faster, and better for the people doing it.

I'm Andrew Pangle, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and the founder of CTQ One. I bring an operator's perspective to process improvement, software, and the decisions that connect them—and a conviction that good work should help people.

THE CTQ ONE IDEA / 15 SECONDS

in motion.

I connect process improvement, software, and automation around the people doing the work. Here’s the idea behind CTQ One.

Cost. Time. Quality. You shouldn’t have to choose. CTQ One connects processes, software, and automation—designed to improve all three. Bring us the problem.

01 / ABOUT
THE ENGINEER'S LENS
A PRACTICAL POINT OF VIEW

The best improvement starts by understanding how work really happens.

I've spent my career inside operations where time, quality, and cost are felt every day: manufacturing floors, aircraft parts networks, cargo hubs, and healthcare recruiting. Those environments taught me to look past the dashboard and listen to the people closest to the work.

My background is in industrial engineering and continuous improvement. Today, I pair that discipline with software, data, and AI to build tools that remove friction instead of adding another layer of it.

— THE IDEA BEHIND CTQ ONE
02 / WORK

Building what
better looks like.

My work combines hands-on operations knowledge with product thinking. The goal is always the same: solve a real problem and make the result useful in the field.

01 / CURRENT FOCUS↗
FOUNDER · CTQ ONE

Operating systems for the way business actually runs.

CTQ One is the company I'm building around a simple conviction: organizations should be able to reduce cost and time while raising quality. We study the work, redesign the workflow, and build practical software and automation around what matters.

02 / HEALTHCARE

Better recruiting processes. Stronger care teams.

As Director of Process Improvement with Trinity Professionals, I apply continuous improvement to healthcare recruiting and the systems behind it.

03 / COMMERCE

From customer interest to operational clarity.

Through CTQ One's work with Interstate Turf, I'm developing practical digital experiences and operating workflows for a product business.

04 / DELTA CARGO SYSTEMS

Building tools for the people moving the work.

At Delta Cargo, I designed and led digital tools around how cargo operations actually worked. CoNAG began as a side project I built from the ground up; it became the foundation for Hub Control, the official version Delta later asked me to lead.

01 / APPLICATION

DigiMobile

Project owner for application design, development, testing, rollout, and training.

02 / DEVELOPMENT

CoNAG

I designed CoNAG on the side, worked with a GT engineer who wrote the code from scratch based on my design, then tested and implemented it. The system delivered exceptional results.

03 / OPERATIONS

Hub Control

After I left Delta, Hub Control became the official version of CoNAG. Delta asked me back after spending roughly $1.5 million and nine months without a working system. I got it running in three months by showing the team how the operational process should run and how its data needed to be organized and used.

THE WORK BEFORE THE WORK

A record of turning
analysis into action.

Selected results from earlier operations and continuous improvement roles.

SHAW INDUSTRIES$4.18M

Savings led through Six Sigma

Led the Samples Manufacturing plant's Six Sigma program, overseeing 15+ Green Belts. The program reached $4.18 million in savings through September.

↗
DELTA AIR LINES40%

Shorter customer pickup waits

Led an import improvement Kaizen and implementation of new workflows in ATL Cargo.

↗
GULFSTREAM$1.7M

Annual savings from automation

Managed a tool crib and consumables automation project in product support.

↗
SHAW INDUSTRIES48.6%

Less plant waste to landfill

Launched a plant-wide reduction program that diverted roughly 19,000 pounds per month.

Results reflect projects documented in Andrew's professional résumé; project scope and measurement periods differ.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT & MENTORSHIP

The best work is watching people grow.

I've led more than 10 Kaizen events and many smaller, focused mini-Kaizens. Yet some of the most satisfying work of my career has been mentoring engineers—sharing what I've learned, helping them find their own strengths, and seeing them build successful careers and good lives beyond the job.

03 / APPROACH

Three measures.
One better system.

Cost, time, and quality belong in the same conversation. When we understand the work deeply enough, we can often improve all three.

01
−

Cost

Find the waste, rework, and avoidable effort hidden in everyday operations.

02
◷

Time

Remove delays and unnecessary steps so people can focus on the work that counts.

03
✳

Quality

Design for reliable outcomes and an experience people can trust.

THE CTQ ONE VIEW

Observe honestly. Design deliberately. Measure what changes.

04 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PURPOSE

Curious by nature.
Ready to show up.

Some of my best lessons have come far from a conference room: in the air, underwater, and miles down a trail.

I'm a private pilot, an FAA Part 107 commercial drone pilot, and an Advanced Open Water certified scuba diver. I've taken many overland trips, drawn by the chance to explore unfamiliar places and solve what the road puts in front of me.

And then there's Chance.

My dog Chance is a huge part of my life. He keeps me grounded and reminds me how much the people and companions we love matter.

05 / SERVICE & COMMUNITY

When people need help,
I move toward it.

I tend to put others first. I'm learning to give myself the same care, so I can keep showing up when it matters.

2011 / TORNADO CLEANUP

The day service became personal.

I was helping with tornado disaster cleanup when a driver under the influence hit me head-on. I couldn't walk for six months. These photographs document the collision, injury, and early recovery.

That experience made resilience deeply personal. It didn't change my instinct to move toward people who need help.

2024 / HURRICANE HELENE

From field work to a better way to coordinate it.

I spent the days clearing fallen trees and supporting search and rescue with a drone. I also saw how hard it was to track requests, prioritize needs, and keep response teams organized.

After working in the field all day, I stayed up from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. building a planning system on sheets of drywall propped against a wall. Sticky notes tracked teams and requests, set priorities, kept crews in quadrants, and helped direct effort where it was needed.

NOW IN DEVELOPMENT

Disaster Operating System

That field-built system is the starting point for a tool I'm developing to help response teams stay organized and help as many people as possible.

Mission Mow: Mowing lawns. Serving neighbors.
IN DEVELOPMENT / MISSION MOW

A one-time reset for a fresh start.

I'm starting Mission Mow to give people with disabilities, older adults, veterans, widows, and neighbors facing a hard season a one-time reset of an overgrown yard. One focused visit creates a more manageable starting point and offers practical help with dignity.

06 / CONNECT

Let's make
something better.

Whether you're wrestling with a difficult workflow, exploring a software idea, or trying to move an organization or community forward, I'd like to hear about it.
