Abstract

At the beginning of any Operational Excellence (OPEX) program it is of utmost importance to articulate (1) its purpose, i.e. the fundamental reason to launch such a program, and (2) its mission, i.e. the desired end state. It is also important to communicate how the purpose and mission of the program fit into the company’s strategy and vision for its business development.
