Orrcon Steel is a leading Australian manufacturer and distributor of steel, tube and pipe. On introducing an automated steel bar picking machine, the company quickly found bottlenecks and inefficiencies meant next-day deliveries were often not being met. OE Partners immediately delved into the brains of the equipment, and through data analysis identified the causes of bottlenecks and changed methods of operation to ensure next-day delivery of steel.
Like many successful startups, Incsub had grown organically and rapidly.

Bob Stewart has retail stores in Kew, Malvern and Mentone, but it was the pending move to a much larger new warehouse that prompted a call to OE Partners.

It was agreed that the most pressing issue was optimising operations in the warehouse, and ensuring greater efficiencies were achieved.
MenuCorp is a leading designer and manufacturer of menu covers quality business products. It wanted to review its business processes, and bring in expert eyes to identify potential improvements.

Due to growing demand, Regent Caravans relocated from a 4,500 sq metre factory to new 10,000 sq metre premises. OE Partners was called in to create a Lean layout to maximise utilisation of space, reduce double and triple handling of stock, and cut wasted movement of staff and materials on its two production lines. OE Partners quickly saw opportunities to improve productivity and free up production capacity to meet the increased demand.
