Leveraging Digital Transformation To Deliver Operational Excellence

This presentation will cover The Opportunity Landscape & Methodology to drive OE, Organizational Structure & glimpses of The OE Framework.

Opportunities Landscape & Methodology

We believe that the most fundamental way of identifying Opportunities is by virtue of “The 3Ms.” These being Mura, Muri & Muda. These are Japanese terms that stand for Un-evenness or variability, Overburden or Under-capacity and Wastes, respectively.

Organizational Structure

A Group Center for Operational Excellence structure was created to identify, exploit, and translate the opportunity landscape into viable improvement initiatives under the umbrella of Business Excellence Framework. The structure provides Centralized Governance and drives Institutionalization of OE leveraging Digital Transformation.

Operational Excellence Framework – An Introduction

The OE Framework is an Agile, Scalable, Holistic yet Flexible Model with a capability to Balance, Integrate and Assimilate all existing and any future initiatives under One Umbrella including Digital Interventions. This encompasses the Strengths of tried and tested International Excellence Frameworks with high internalization & contextualization in totality. The individual elements of The Framework will enable seamless delivery of Business Objectives with a strong linkage to robust Business Processes.
