These processes, also known as value streams can produce tangible products or intangible ones. Drawing from continuous improvement and other tools, companies pursuing operational excellence adopt a mindset of problem-solving, teamwork, and top-line growth, allowing to create more value for customers.

The drive to keep improving in order to have the capacity to pursue innovation and growth (also known as execution excellence) rests on two primary pillars: The systematic management of operations and the commitment to a positive culture that focuses on customers’ needs and empowers staff.
