We believe that the term “Operational Excellence” is a misnomer. It cannot be measured. If the Plant is performing to your expectations, then it is an operationally excellent plant, but it must continue its pursuit of continuous improvement. A safe, reliable, profitable plant is the result of consistent leadership, operational discipline, and a plant-wide feverish tenacity for improvement. The data is in. There is no need for trendy improvement practices that have taken over despite their obvious weakness.

We are a member of several organizations that have compiled best practices from hundreds of organizations. They specialize in process management, measurement, benchmarking, continuous improvement, quality, measurement analytics, change management, knowledge management, and maintenance and reliability . Do your sites have common standards to drive consistent performance? We recommend it.

Our team member has served as a National Examiner of both the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and the Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence. They also maintain a database of best practices through their work with hundreds of companies and we take full advantage.

Should you choose to pursue these awards Precision Processes can support that effort.
