Operational Excellence – or not

Operational Excellence or OpEx for short, what does that imply and why should you care about it? Well, if you don’t know it, here’s your chance to learn more: A webinar by WTG webinars, the leading provider of B2B educational online events. I’ve been a media partner with them for several years now, and from a humbling and fumbling start their webinars have evolved into do-not-miss-events that you should make time for. I always do. many of them, if not most, are also available for on-demand viewing.

Operational Excellence – key issues

The upcoming webinar on Top 5 OpEx Success Strategies will help you become more successful, using Lean and OpEx to enable and accelerate business growth,  Presented by Simon Law, a former manufacturing leader of the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Corporation, who worked as a team leader responsible for delivering 600 vehicle bodies per shift to two assembly plants for 11 years, the webinar is centered around these topics:

  • Top 5 blunders that make OpEx failand how to avoid them
  • How to Integrate and deploy OpEx strategically for growth in earnings & sales
  • Why a comprehensive management system that shows improvements is key for sustaining results and cultural change
  • Understand how to develop the right culture and the way it impacts upon your business performance
