Andrew Pangle · Founder
Built by a process engineer who happens to build software.
Andrew founded CTQ One around a simple belief: businesses should not have to accept inefficient work because existing software was built for someone else.
An operator's view of improvement.
Andrew holds a BS in Industrial Engineering and an MBA and is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. His background includes cargo and operations management at Delta Air Lines, continuous-improvement leadership, and service-center process engineering at Gulfstream.
Business ownership adds a practical test to that engineering foundation. A solution has to work with the people, attention, time, and cash a business actually has. More features are not useful if they make the work harder.
- Industrial engineering: flow, capacity, and constraints.
- Lean Six Sigma: waste, variation, and root causes.
- Business ownership: decisions judged in operating reality.
First understand. Then simplify. Then build.
The people doing the work deserve to be heard before the system around them changes. Their workarounds often reveal missing information, conflicting priorities, or a gap between a procedure and the real operation.
CTQ One combines that curiosity with the ability to implement. Process engineering shapes what should change. Software, automation, data, and practical AI are tools for making the improvement repeatable.
What Cost, Time, and Quality mean together.
CTQ One looks at three essentials together: the resources required, the time work takes, and the reliability of the result. Reducing waste can improve all three. Moving a cost or delay to a different team is not the same as removing it.
'One' means one connected operating philosophy and system. It does not mean every business needs one all-purpose application. Existing tools can stay when they support a coherent way of working. 'No Tradeoffs' is the ambition behind that design, not an absolute performance guarantee.
Accountability you can talk to.
CTQ One is founder-led. Andrew brings the operational and technical conversation together so a nontechnical owner does not have to translate the business into a developer's specification.
The operating principle is 'Effortless by default. Powerful when needed.' In practice, that means plain-English communication, clear ownership, respect for frontline users, and building only what improves the operation. Maintainability matters because the system has to keep working after the initial project ends.
