“There is no question about it. The OMP team is of fundamental importance in this implementation. The knowledge of the consultants working with us, regarding the process and planning knowledge, and not only on the OMP tool itself, was fundamental. That was exactly what we needed for a successful transition.”
Mauricio Barros, Sr Production Planning and Logistics Manager - Medical Devices at Johnson & Johnson
“During the course of the implementation, OMP maintained an effective presence, with excellent control of the work leading to rapid completion. In short, their contribution during this phase was distinguished by high responsiveness and ease of implementation”.
