Who We Are
OPEX Coaching exists because sustainable improvement doesn't come from outside consultants, it comes from capability built inside the business. After decades leading and deploying Lean, Continuous Improvement, and Operational Excellence across industrial, automotive, aerospace and utility businesses, we saw the same pattern everywhere: every system had strengths, every system had weaknesses, and none of them delivered lasting results without a shift in how leaders and teams thought about problems, people, and performance.

Lasting Impact
We come with 45+ years of combined experience across automotive, aerospace, industrial, and utilities, coaching Operational Excellence and process improvement not just in operations, but across Transportation, Logistics, Materials, Engineering, Finance, IT, Customer Service, and Regulatory/Policy.
Because real improvement doesn't live in one department, it lives everywhere.

How We're Different
We don't "do the work" while the business watches. We don't leave behind binders, dashboards, or programs that fade once we're gone. Our leadership coaching includes -
Clearly define the problems that matter most
Solve them with structured and standardized approaches, not shortcuts.
Embed improvement into daily work, not events
Build a management system that leaders actually live
The result? Not just better KPIs, but a cultural shift:
Less firefighting
↓
More root-cause problem solving
Less Chaos
↓
More methodological execution
Less dependence on outside experts
↓
More capability inside the business
OPEX Coaching is for organizations ready to think differently, lead differently, and improve differently. Change isn't instant. It isn't easy. But when capability grows inside your people, the results and the culture sustain.
If you're ready to build a culture of Operational Excellence, we're ready to coach.
