APM Inc. - Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence is an essential strategy for achieving greater business excellence. Lean Management, Six Sigma, Kaizen, Hoshin Planning, PDCA, and Root Cause Analysis are all key components of an effective operational excellence initiative. Lean management practices enable organizations to reduce waste and optimize processes throughout their operations; Six Sigma then takes this optimization to the next level with its rigorous data-driven approach. Kaizen involves continual improvement of individual workers and processes; Hoshin Kanri or 'strategy deployment' then helps ensure these initiatives consistently contribute to the organization's strategic goals. Finally, PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) and Root Cause Analysis help identify gaps in existing practices that can be addressed and drives improvement through corrective action. When deployed effectively these methods can dramatically improve operational performance over time.
