Turning Point – the foundation to a better business at OceanaGold Macraes Processing

After completing Turning Point in May 2011, I felt confident that this is the way to build a business that sets the industry standard for cost efficient mineral processing and a work environment that all team members can be proud of.

Richard Joseph & Associates and Turning Point are the cornerstone to the cultural reform transformation at OceanaGold Macraes Processing. It has resulted in real measurable productivity, improvements and cost reductions. These are the results of changed behaviours and a workforce that know they make a difference.

It has been a significant journey for the processing team that has evolved and expanded over the past 4 years. Measurable improvements are in the 10’s of millions resulting in profit margin improvements of greater than 10%. The great part of this is the ideas and improvements continue to be identified, implemented and measured.
