Built for Manufacturers Like You

We work with small to mid-sized manufacturers across Oregon who are dealing with:

  • Missed production deadlines
  • Bottlenecks limiting output
  • Rising labor costs without increased capacity
  • Constant firefighting on the shop floor
  • Pressure to expand before operations are optimized

If this sounds familiar, we can help.

How We Help

Lean Manufacturing Consulting That Goes Beyond the Shop Floor

Most lean consultants focus on the production line. OMEP goes further — we help Oregon manufacturers build sustainable lean systems across operations, leadership, and office workflows so improvements actually stick.

"OMEP's lean consultants came to our floor, mapped our processes, and helped us double our usable production space without expanding the building."

"We saw a 4x increase in production capacity after working with OMEP on our lean layout redesign. They didn't just hand us a report — they worked alongside our team every step of the way. The results speak for themselves."
