Operational Excellence — doing it
well
Operational excellence is getting everything in your business to work
at peak performance, from people to machines, from tactics to executions.
Process improvement or “business re-engineering” delivers
faster, more efficient, and cost-effective processes for serving customers
and delivering products. Bettering the way your business operates is
a multi-layered task of discovery and change. We help our client move
through the many stages of this process and help them implement the
steps that will make their operations excel.
Planning and implementing operational integration is essential during
mergers. For clients undergoing mergers, we often serve as interim
Operations Director or Manager until the proper managerial mix or suitable
replacement staffing is found.
We discover the ways to operational excellence by seeking answers to
key questions.
Have You Streamlined Your Back Office Operations?
We help our clients find ways to streamline their back office operations
in order to improve their overall cost structure. Efforts in this
regard usually result in significant cost cutting and improved
cycle time.
We also help our clients develop processes and systems to both reduce
cost and improve effectiveness.
Do You Audit the Efficiencies of Customer
Service?
Businesses today are only as good as their customer service operations,
the place where most complaints against a company are lodged and
the reason why some customers do not come back. Operational excellence
demands that you audit the responsiveness of your customer service
regularly to make sure that it is operating efficiently and effectively.
Fix flaws upon discovery, and be sure to deal with dissatisfied
customers promptly and completely.
Are You Matching Your Competition’s
Level of Excellence?
If you want to be only second best, then carry on with what works
for you. But if you want to be the best among the competition,
you better
know how well others are performing, and then you better perform
at least as well, and optimally perform even better than anyone
else. We help our clients assess the competition’s level of excellence
with an eye toward matching and/or bettering that degree of customer
service and product quality.
