Concrete Supplier Playbook – Foundations

Train Your Team to Run a More Profitable, Predictable Ready-Mix Operation

Structured leadership training built specifically for ready-mix producers who want tighter operational control, better technical decision-making, and stronger margins.

This is not a course bundle.

It is a focused development track for plant managers, QC leaders, and operations personnel responsible for performance and profitability.

The Problem

Most ready-mix companies struggle with:

  • Chasing strength instead of managing performance

  • Accepting bad specifications without pushback

  • Misreading technical data

  • Margin erosion tied to mix design decisions

  • Training gaps between plants

  • QC tools being used without full understanding

The result is unnecessary cost, avoidable callbacks, and inconsistent decision-making.

Foundations fixes that.

What You Will Gain

With Supplier Foundations, you and your team will:

  • Improve operational discipline that directly impacts margin

  • Understand total installed cost — not just $/yd³

  • Confidently interpret strength data and technical charts

  • Make better SCM and silica decisions based on performance, not trends

  • Use maturity correctly to reduce guesswork

  • Push back on flawed specifications with authority

  • Reduce performance-related disputes and callbacks

  • Build a structured training path for rising leaders

This program builds control before problems show up in the balance sheet.

How the Foundations Program Is Structured

This is a progressive track — not random content.

Phase 1: Operational Profitability
Understand what truly drives profit inside a ready-mix operation.

Phase 2: Technical Data & Decision Control
Learn how to evaluate charts, strength results, and performance claims correctly.

Phase 3: Materials Mastery
Gain clarity on fly ash variability, silica tradeoffs, and SCM risk.

Phase 4: QC Discipline
Use tools like the maturity method properly to support confident field decisions.

Each module builds on the previous one.

Courses Included in Foundations

  • Concrete Profitability: 7 Keys Every Ready-Mix Producer Should Master

  • Reducing Concrete Cost Without Killing Performance

  • Calling BS on Concrete Data

  • Reclaimed Fly Ash in Concrete: Engineering, Processing, and Performance Considerations

  • Silica Fume vs. Colloidal Silica in Concrete Performance

  • Maturity Method: Estimating Concrete Strength Using ASTM C1074

Each course includes structured instruction, knowledge validation, and PDH eligibility where applicable.

Foundation Day Launch

To mark the official launch of the Supplier Playbook, we are opening a limited Foundation Day enrollment window.

For a short period, suppliers can enroll at a Founding rate before standard pricing is fully enforced.

Foundation Day Enrollment: $697
Standard Enrollment: $997

Use code: FOUNDING300

This offer will close once the initial cohort is filled.

If improved mix control reduces even 1% of unnecessary cost, this program pays for itself quickly.

The return is operational clarity and margin protection.
