Facilities Management Awards 2017

2017 Facilities Management Awards Build 23 stablished in 2011, OpEx Solutions combine the proven approaches of total productive maintenance (TPM) and lean manufacturing to give its clients a bespoke solution to their improvement needs. The firm’s overall goal is to help them achieve operational excellence; the continuous elimination of loss and waste, which they gain through practical, hands-on training, coaching and consultancy. Stuart discusses the firm’s service offering in more detail and outlines the approach it takes to achieving this ambitious goal for clients. “At OpEx Solutions, our activities focus in three key areas; strategy development and deployment, improvement and maintenance. As sustained change takes time to achieve, our aim is to build a long-term relationship with our clients so that we can support them through tough times as well as the good. This also allows internal capability to be developed through our learning-through-doing approach, so as theory is learnt it is also applied, improving the learning experience and delivering tangible results. “Fundamentally, we feel that continuous improvement can sometimes come over as being far too complicated. To combat this, at OpEx Solutions we aim to make it easy to understand and apply in any organisation. OpEx Solutions also understands that sustainable continuous improvement is built on the enthusiasm and intrinsic motivation of a workforce. Therefore, we work closely with clients to develop a culture where mistakes are seen as an opportunity to learn and improve.” Looking to the future, Stuart foresees many changes within the manufacturing space which will provide OpEx Solutions with many exciting chances to develop and adapt, as he concludes. “As we move forward, thanks to the further integration of technology and the development of Industry 4.0, there will be an even greater focus on improvement and maintenance. This in turn will have a strong influence on facilities management including the use of predictive techniques based on “big data” analytics and the development of smart buildings. As such, at OpEx solutions our ongoing focus will be on developing and adapting to ensure that we have the knowledge and expertise to provide our clients with the solutions they need to succeed in this ever evolving market.” Best Manufacturing Services Consultancy - United Kingdom Drawing on its extensive experience in many manufacturing environments, OpEx Solutions offers training, coaching and consultancy to help organisations achieve operational excellence.
