Confused how to start OPEX ?

Started to face too many cases by friends and managers on how to start the continuous improvement initiates and where to start?

First of all; in such initiatives, IT SHOULD have a management who is looking for growth and drive such a strategy. Otherwise, I bet you will struggle convincing people to change and individual initiatives will be just a headache but in the other hand, you are “Treating it as you own it “and having that self-satisfaction that you have changed something. Different taste!

My way of doing changes and analysis to get straightforward to my root cases; starting to have a fresh raw data “You can’t manage what you don’t measure “. From high level to the deepest low levels in order to seek the CI and apply the changes required. Once such a data isn’t available, here it comes to apply some systems to collect such a data or go with a manual data collection” simply the most fav. tool is the excel sheets “

Depending on the nature of the business and the strategy, applying tools such lean,six sigma,5S continuously will give a high impact and get your top to deep-down process improvement . On a higher level applying QMS and drive the quality culture also having a high impact on employees and customers. For sure continuous development on tools and employees by applying new technologies and giving trainings will teem into the same results which you always need to keep focused on and many professionals forget when applying such tools , are Satisfied employees, Happy customers and Happy Shareholders.
