About the team
Established in 2023 as ProdOps was preparing to transition from development into full-rate production, OCC was purpose-built to ensure that as manufacturing scaled, the most critical problems would be identified, solved, and prevented from recurring through a single integrated operating system. OCC focuses on the most critical problems for ProdOps at each phase of production. The team operates as a closed-loop flywheel where each rotation identifies value, solves problems, implements change, and generates new data that feeds the next cycle. Every rotation compounds returns.
