A New Metric: Strategy–Operations Coherence
OCFR–Gemba is a patent-pending coherence engine that sits on top of ERP and MES. It continuously compares strategic intent with what the business is actually doing in cash, using an Operating Cash Flow Ratio–driven model to express strategy–operations coherence as a measurable signal.
When coherence is achieved, operations are automatically optimized and aligned – not because operations are monitored as a separate layer, but because strategy and operations function as one system. Coherence represents the ultimate improvement: the point where intent and execution produce the same signal.
Coherence as a measurable metric. OCFR–Gemba treats strategy and operations as a single domain. It measures the coherence between them through OCFR, moving beyond lagging KPIs and retrospective audits.
Sits above ERP, not beside it. Existing ERPs and MES capture transactions. OCFR–Gemba interprets those transactions against strategic intent, providing a single-management-system layer that can be governed, audited, and analyzed.
Coherence produces optimized operations as a consequence. When strategy and operations share the same OCFR signal, alignment is not an initiative – it is the natural state of the system. This is the “ultimate improvement” organizations often seek but rarely measure.
ISO-anchored coherence engine. Built around ISO management system principles, the platform converts “effectiveness” and “alignment” from qualitative audit language into a quantified, real-time coherence signal for boards, executives, and investors.

Alignment is already required (ISO 9001:2015, clause 9.3.1)
ISO 9001:2015 clause 9.3.1 requires top management to review whether the quality management system remains aligned with the organization’s strategic direction, and to consider the effectiveness of that system.
In practice, many organizations rely on subjective interpretations, disconnected KPIs, and periodic audits to discuss alignment. Objective evidence of alignment – in a measurable, repeatable form – is rarely available. Coherence brings that requirement into measurable form by expressing strategic–operational alignment as a continuous signal.
Why coherence matters to investors
Investors are often limited to lagging financial indicators and fragmented operational metrics. A coherence engine provides an additional, forward-looking perspective on how well strategy and operations are working together, which can support analysis of execution quality and cash stability over time.
- Clearer view of how strategic intent is reflected in real operating behavior.
- Early indication when drift appears between strategy, operations, and cash.
- Objective, repeatable evidence that supports management review and governance.
Coherence extends the intent of clause 9.3.1 from a periodic discussion into a continuous, evidence-based signal. When coherence is high, operations tend to be optimized and aligned as a natural consequence – a condition commonly associated with stronger performance over time.

Founder & Architect
Jeffrey Lewis
Founder · OCFR–Gemba Control System™
Defining coherence as the missing link between strategic intent, operating behavior, and cash – where achieving coherence means operations are automatically optimized and aligned.
Jeffrey Lewis has designed the OCFR–Gemba Control System™ as a coherence engine rather than another operations tool. The system treats strategy and operations as one domain and expresses their coherence through Operating Cash Flow. It is informed by years of work with ISO-certified organizations seeking clearer evidence of effectiveness and alignment on top of fragmented ERP landscapes.
- Experience with ISO 9001 and related management standards.
- Turnaround and operational improvement work in manufacturing and services.
- Architect of the OCFR-based drift engine and single management system model.
