Increase your productivity with Operational Excellence

Sebastian Fiegeler·30 December 2022
Increase your productivity with Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence (also: OpEx) is an approach that helps companies increase their productivity and efficiency. Raw material costs are rising, making savings potential increasingly relevant.

The definition of Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence is a strategic approach that focuses on optimising processes and systems, with a focus on value-adding activities and the involvement of employees. It is a combination of various methods and techniques (e.g. lean methods).

Introducing Operational Excellence in production

One of the most important elements is the continuous improvement of processes. A company can deploy new tools to optimise production, or monitor processes to improve quality.

How to reduce costs through Operational Excellence

  • Review processes and optimise resources.
  • Improve productivity through automation and optimisation.
  • Improve quality to reduce scrap and returns.

Operational Excellence and CIP – the difference

Operational Excellence is a comprehensive approach to the continuous improvement of business operations. CIP (continuous improvement process) is one part of the OpEx strategy and focuses on specific production processes.

Tools for your OpEx concept

  • Total Quality Management
  • Kaizen (CIP)
  • SMED
  • Six Sigma
  • Agile methods
  • Kanban

Operational Excellence in the context of change management

It includes developing a structured plan and a clear communication plan. Behavioural change within the organisation is a key element for implementing and anchoring change successfully.

Conclusion

Operational Excellence is an essential component for manufacturing companies. It enables them to work more efficiently and maintain sustainable competitiveness.
