Course Description

Many improvement initiatives fail due to a fragmented approach to the alignment and execution of practitioner activities.  Operational Excellence (OPEX) supports the drive for sustainable profitability and growth within your organization by adopting a holistic approach to improvement.   
OPEX is not easy to define. Some descriptions are too broad. Others set parameters so narrow that the ultimate definition seems too focused in scope. Often, we end up with definitions that seem plausible in an academic sense, such as: Being world class, being the best globally, and excellence in everything we do.
