Meaning of operational excellence
Operational excellence is said to be a level where the cycle of operations is visible
enough to workers so that when there is a disconnection in the process, it can be fixed without
waiting for the management or leader. In an organization with operational excellence, everyone
knows their contribution to the customer value stream. A smooth and rough process can easily be
noticed and worked upon by the team members in a timely manner in the absence of the leader.
Leaders can now focus more on improving the company's income via new ideas while workers
are trusted with executing their designated tasks according to the pre-set standards.
Basic Principles of Operational Excellence
Companies always have areas for improvement, and there are many ways to achieve this
goal. The Shingo model was developed by Japanese engineer Shigeo Shingo in the 1970s and is
the most frequently cited methodology of operational excellence. It contains 10 guiding
principles that organizations can use to ensure they stay on top of improved operational
strategies.
1. Respect every individual: when employees feel respected, they will put their hands,
thoughts, and hearts into their work. To have loyal customers and suppliers,
communication must be in a respective manner.
2. Lead with humility: Leaders who accept criticism, vital opinions and allow employees to
freely express their thought and ideas will have an effective, efficient, and productive
staff or team members.
3. Seek perfection: Constant pursuit of perfection in every stage of the business process will
create a "can always be improved" mentality in every staff mind, and continuous
improvement.
