Who we are
Evocati Praxis Group helps manufacturers bring clarity, structure, and discipline to production planning, materials, inventory, and operational execution.
What Evocati Is Built Around
Operations should run on visibility, structure, and disciplined execution — not constant firefighting.
Evocati works alongside manufacturing leaders and planning teams to understand how an operation actually functions, identify where information and execution break down, and build practical systems that improve stability and decision-making.
Clarity → Structure → Execution → Measurable Improvement
Leadership
Evocati Praxis Group is led by Founder Todd Cansdale, a production planning and supply chain professional with over eight years of experience across master production scheduling, materials planning, inventory control, and logistics operations in manufacturing environments.
Todd has led scheduling and operational initiatives across contract and full-time roles, consistently stabilizing production environments, extending planning visibility, and improving delivery performance through structured cadence and constraint-based planning.
His experience includes:
Designing and implementing digital Master Production Scheduling systems
Extending planning visibility from short-term reactive scheduling to forward-looking structured cadence
Reducing backorders and missed due dates through coordinated material and capacity alignment
Improving operational efficiency through constraint management and Lean execution
Overseeing high-value inventory environments and complex logistics operations
Across multiple manufacturing organizations, Todd has supported production, materials, and logistics functions in environments requiring disciplined execution, cross-functional coordination, and performance accountability.
His approach emphasizes clarity, structured systems, and measurable performance improvement — transforming reactive operations into controlled, forward-looking planning environments.

Why “Evocati”
Practical, not theoretical
Recommendations are built around how the operation actually runs, not generic consulting frameworks.
Manufacturing-focused
Evocati works specifically around production planning, scheduling, materials, inventory, operational data, and execution.
Built around measurable improvement
The objective is greater visibility, stability, control, and performance—not just another report or presentation.
Lower-cost modernization options
Improvement does not always require replacing the ERP or spending hundreds of thousands on software.
Direct involvement
Clients work directly with the people analyzing the operation and developing the recommendations.
Evocati is built for manufacturers that want practical operational improvement without unnecessary complexity, bureaucracy, or cost.
