Operational excellence
Concept
A management discipline that aims to make a company's operations reliably efficient and customer-focused through shared principles, standard routines, performance measures and continuous improvement at every level.
Description
Operational excellence means running operations so that they deliver the promised quality, cost and delivery reliably, and keep getting better. It is a management discipline rather than a single method. It usually combines a shared set of principles, standard routines, clear performance measures and continuous improvement at every level.
Many companies build it on lean management and often add Six Sigma tools for reducing variation. Common building blocks are leadership that is visible on the shop floor, daily management with boards and short meetings, structured problem solving, and a regular review of results against targets. Maturity models help to see where a site stands and what to strengthen next.
