How OAG Operations Assessments Benefit
Consultants
Improved Earnings Streams
Manufacturing consultancy is highly competitive as there are many individuals offering similar services. Consultants who use a predefined model to differentiate themselves are more likely to win contracts. OAG is a company of experienced turnaround and growth-oriented Operations Consultants with a proven record of improving operations. Our success has been founded upon our assessment models. They have been designed to provide the client with a detailed appraisal of the current status of their manufacturing operation and the means to control and manage the improvement process.

The OAG Report
The assessment report, which is centred on leadership, contains a comprehensive examination of a manufacturing operation. It highlights strengths and weaknesses in the 7 key components for a successful manufacturing business. The client’s aspirations and the current status captured during the assessment process provide the basis of an improvement plan. This includes financial benefits from data supplied by the client and identifies the payback projection for your services.
