“Owen’s coaching and influencing skills helped us to align my organisation and recalibrate our manufacturing strategy by identifying our main opportunities. Quality was surely our burning platform, and thanks to OBC’s support, we successfully introduced a methodology to reduce defects in our processes and at our customers’ sites. OBC helped us to map our processes and advised us on the implementation methodology: we improved and sustained our as-delivered quality by 500% improvement in the first 12 months.”

“OBC’s industry experience and Lean knowledge were instrumental in challenging us on how effectively we problem solve, drive accountability and reduce defects in our end-to-end processes. Due to OBC’s coaching and support, we completed the introduction of a focused methodology for the management of ‘internal quality’ and established alignment in measurement and targets for our shop-floor KPIs.”

“I recommend Owen as a hands-on, go-see-act, production expert that has supported our facility on numerous occasions. He is applying his profound knowledge of lean production systems also to lower volume businesses, and it works very effectively with our teams. Either if it is data mining in ERP systems to improve material delivery schedules or leading improvement workshops on the shop-floor with production employees, Owen has brought real value to our business. I recommend Owen to every organisation that is looking to develop a Lean culture.”

“OBC’s strength lies in their ability to quickly understand, visualise, and describe how processes work, or why they don’t work, and explain what can be done to improve those processes in a simple-to-understand way. They were able to quickly grasp and understand what was going on in my department and identify the big opportunities for us to improve our performance.”

“Owen worked with us for 12 months, and during that time he developed good and effective working relationships with a large team of Programme Management Professionals and Engineers. His leadership and support were instrumental in helping us establish effective KPIs, Visual Performance Management Centres, and structured review meetings across 40 different areas and functions within the Programme. We found Owen to be a very reliable, trustworthy, and goal-oriented individual with effective communication skills. His preparedness and ability to respectfully challenge the team really helped to drive accountability and improvement. He constantly maintained focus on the overall objective and helped the team maintain that focus too.”
