- Abstract
The article offers advice for improving the effectiveness of corporate operational excellence (OPEX) programs such as lean manufacturing and Six Sigma. It is suggested that OPEX programs should be evaluated on their return on investment, creation of value, and achievement of organizational goals. Following the evaluation, a company can decide to continue its current program, expand its scope to meet other functional goals, or manage specific processes or strategic projects.
