Gusky Process Consulting
Senior-level process engineering support for tissue machine performance, stability, and optimization.Independent work with mills and OEM teams.
Rob Gusky - Principal
Technical Background
30+ years of process engineering experience at Kimberly-Clark improving tissue machine performance, stability, and efficiency across global manufacturing operations. Experience includes machine optimization, troubleshooting, and variability reduction throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Specialized in resolving runnability and stability issues in forming, pressing, and drying with a focus on sustained improvement. International Tissue 101 trainer and mentor supporting development of engineering and operating capability while partnering with mill and OEM teams to remove production constraints and improve results.
Engagement Scope
Engagements are typically initiated for:- Ongoing runnability or stability problems on tissue machines
- Variability in forming, pressing, or drying sections
- Product quality issues (e.g., softness, defects, strength variability)
- Support for OEM or mill troubleshooting escalations
- Capability building through teaching and mentoring of engineers and operations teams to strengthen long-term problem-solving and machine understandingWork focuses on identifying root causes and implementing practical, sustainable steps to improve machine performance and operational stability.
How Engagements Are Structured
1. Technical intake discussion (problem definition and constraints)
2. Process and data review (system context alignment)
3. Targeted on-site or remote engineering analysis
4. Findings and prioritized recommendations
5. Optional implementation supportWork is only taken where there is a clear match with experience and a reasonable chance of improving machine performance.
