OOBE also executes a rigorous product development and placement process that ensures that the performance of each style exceeds that of “off-the-shelf” solutions provided by most other uniform companies.

Steps in the OOBE product development process include:

• Color & Trend Forecasting
• Technical Design & Garment Engineering
• Creation of “Technical Packages” (Tech Packs) specifying every characteristic of the finished garment in a manner that allows the garment to be produced to exacting specifications
• Prototype and Sample production and provision
• Frequent international “R & D” trips to identify, learn, and capture the latest innovations in fabric and construction
• Closed-loop, “PDCA” (Plan, Do, Check, Adjust) continuous improvement process
