Operational Excellence – An Approach

A Value Stream Management Approach: Operational Excellence is when each and every employee can see the flow of value to the customer, and fix that flow before it breaks down.

Operational Excellence – A Model

A Process Excellence Model: The Shingo Model

The Shingo model is comprised of two elements: the house and the diamond.

The diamond represents the transformation process for embedding the principles of operational excellence into the organizational culture.

The house details the principles of operational excellence and the power of balancing effort across all the dimensions.

Operational Excellence – A “Checklist”

A “Checklist”: Oliver Wight Class A Checklist for Business Excellence

There are nine chapters describing latest practical and proven best practices. Implementation follows the “Proven Path Methodology”.

These support five further chapters that address the prime processes in most organizations: Products & Services, Demand, Supply Chain, Internal Supply, and External Sourcing.

The Oliver Wight Class A Checklist is aimed so that organizations can see for themselves what "excellence" is and what they have to do to be excellent. Its scoring method allows organizations to visualize and measure progress toward excellence in every part of the business.

The four priority chapters describing the processes and practices that enable the whole business to be excellent: Strategic Planning Managing and Leading People Driving Business Improvement Integrated Business Planning

Operational Excellence – A Definition

A Business Strategy: In "The Discipline of Market Leaders“ (1995), Michael Treacy and Fred Wiersema describe three distinct value propositions or disciplines: Product Leadership, Customer Intimacy and Operational Excellence.

Market leaders choose to excel in delivering extraordinary levels of one of these three value propositions, while maintaining reasonable standards in the other disciplines.

Market leaders will not pursue a diffused business strategy across two or even all three disciplines, but will continually focus on their organizational design, processes, technology and competencies to improve the one particular value discipline that they want to provide to their Customers better than anyone else.

Organizations pursuing an Operational Excellence strategy, strive to deliver a combination of quality, price, and ease of purchase and service that no other organization in their market or industry can match.

What is Operational Excellence?

Achieving Operational Excellence requires the successful implementation of a integrated Business Execution System that effectively and seamlessly integrates the following four building blocks: Strategy Deployment, Performance Management, Process Excellence, and High Performance Work Teams.

Strategy or Policy Deployment is the process that aligns and links business strategy and execution.

Performance Management is the process that translates strategic initiatives into measurable objectives and goals.

Operational Excellence can be achieved and sustained with the right attitude, the right mindset, and the right competencies.

Well designed, efficient, and effective Management, Value Chain, and Support Processes are necessary to deliver world-class results.

so hard to be sure things are done right,

that they hardly have time to decide if

they are doing the right things.”

Operational Excellence – Strategy Deployment

Only 5% of the workforce understands their company strategy.

Only 25% of managers have incentives linked to strategy.

60% of organizations don’t link budgets to strategy.

86% of executive teams spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy.

Strategy is an expression of what an organization intents to do to get from a current state to a future state. Strategy is often expressed in terms of a vision statement, objectives, goals, and initiatives.

Operational Excellence – Strategy Deployment Process

Once you have completed the strategic grid, go back and make sure everything fits with your overall strategy. A set of strategic grids should provide the strategic model for running the business, outlining the specifics of the strategy. All stakeholders should be able to look at the grids and follow the flow of the organization’s strategy.

Operational Excellence – Strategy Deployment

“I sure wish I’d done a better job of communicating with GM people. I’d do that differently a second time around and make sure they understand and shared my vision for the company. Then they would know why I was

tearing the place up, taking out whole divisions, changing our whole production structure . . . I never got this across.”

For each objective on your strategic grids, you need at least one performance indicator. Can you have an objective without a performance indicator? Yes, it is possible, but not having a measurement makes it difficult to manage the objective. It’s best to revisit this objective and ask the question: Why is this an objective?

Coordinator Kathe Carter:

"Our management team evaluates potential new programs/initiatives

by seeing how they fit in with our strategy. In the past we would

continue stacking new projects on everyone's plates, but now

if it doesn't fit with our strategy we don't do it." Just as

important for the DMB is that "whenever a new project or initiative is

proposed, our people ask 'how does this fit in with our strategy

map /scorecard?' They feel that this connection attaches a higher

level of importance to the initiative."

What is Operational Excellence?

Achieving Operational Excellence requires the successful implementation of a integrated Business Execution System that effectively and seamlessly integrates the following four building blocks: Strategy Deployment, Performance Management, Process Excellence, and High Performance Work Teams.

Strategy or Policy Deployment is the process that aligns and links business strategy and execution.

Performance Management is the process that translates strategic initiatives into measurable objectives and goals.

Operational Excellence can be achieved and sustained with the right attitude, the right mindset, and the right competencies.

Well designed, efficient, and effective Management, Value Chain, and Support Processes are necessary to deliver world-class results.
