Operational Excellence is not a new phenomenon. The concept and term have been around for almost 20 years. The first known use of the term was by Larry Bossidy’s deployment team to describe their expanded Six Sigma Deployment at Allied Signal (now Honeywell). It is a way of looking at business as a whole rather than dealing with the individual parts of a business separately. Operational Excellence is made up of four main categories, which include:
- Strategy Deployment & Execution Paths with support, monitoring and accountability
- Structured Performance Management that lends to increased transparency
- High Performance Work Teams that cross communicate and mutually support the overall system goals & objectives
- Process Excellence derived from an acute system-wide culture of Top-Down & Bottom-Up Continuous Improvement project work
Operational Excellence Is About Execution
IIn order to achieve Operational Excellence within a company, you need a clear plan of action and a good partner to help you through the process of implementing a Business Plan that includes the four categories listed above. There are many pieces to this puzzle, and Butler Active Business Solutions has worked with many organizations to help them achieve Operational Excellence in their own company.
The key is a good frame work sometimes referred to as the Operational Excellence House. This framework includes things like Six Sigma, Lean, Kaizen, and other key methods that are used together to complete the structure. You can’t have a completed house without each piece.
