This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Chevron, an international integrated energy corporation, has installed the Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) to achieve world-class performance in environmental, health, safety, efficiency, and reliability concerns. This management system is fully described in this research. It shares many attributes with the international standard for environmental management systems known as ISO 14001, although the OEMS is designed to include concerns in safety, health, efficiency, and reliability, in addition to environmental issues. This research investigates the comparability of the OEMS to the international standard. Through direct comparison of requirements of the standard to features of the OEMS it is determined that the OEMS compares favorably with most requirements of the standard. A few areas are identified where improvements to the system would clarify alignment with the standard. Several Chevron business units have had experience with deploying the ISO 14001 system and the OEMS. Leaders in these businesses were interviewed to assess their opinions of the comparability of the systems. In general, each leader felt the OEMS was quite comparable to the ISO 14001 standard and exceeded its requirements in some areas. The research also investigates the management system approaches employed by other international integrated energy companies as they are described in their external websites and compares them to the Chevron approach. One company, ExxonMobil, has extensive documentation on their Operations Integrity Management System available on their external website. A comparison of the OEMS with the ExxonMobil system is also included. The ExxonMobil system has been maintained over several years, an external attestation to its conformance to the international standard. The high degree of comparability between the ExxonMobil system and the OEMS indicates that the OEMS could qualify as an ISO 14001 compliant management system"--Abstract.

Download or read book Design for Operational Excellence A Breakthrough Strategy for Business Growth written by Kevin J. Duggan and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design processes wisely. Grow your business endlessly. “Design for Operational Excellence is a blueprint for a joined up, end-to-end designed operation that makes Operational Excellence a reality. The book excellently outlines the process of creating flow that every employee can see and, most importantly, fix without management intervention. Kevin Duggan’s emphasis on creating standard work for abnormal flow hits one of the biggest gaps in most continuous improvement initiatives. This book will change the way that you think about continuous improvement and the case studies will demonstrate that it works.” −Philip Holt, Director, Customer Collaboration Online, Philips Consumer Lifestyle “The approach outlined here can transform the phrase ‘leapfrog the competition’ from cliché to reality. Kevin’s approach is clear, the method sound, and the results achievable. Don’t just read this book: use it!” −Jack McQuellon, Global Parts Manager, Caterpillar Paving Products “In Design for Operational Excellence, Kevin Duggan provides a framework that focuses on the real endgame—levering operational excellence as a means of driving business growth. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to designing and implementing value streams and supporting processes that will enable a business to assertively grow the top line as well as the bottom line.” −Al Mason, Corporate Director, Altra Business System, Altra Industrial Motion About the Book: The ability to implement and maintain improvement initiatives like Lean and Six Sigma is essential for improving quality, eliminating waste, reducing costs, and increasing output—but it’s only the first step. Eventually, the improve-sustain-improve-sustain pattern itself becomes the end product. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Why make operational improvement a perpetual process when you can make business growth a perpetual process? In this trailblazing book, Kevin Duggan—author of Creating Mixed Model Value Streams and founder of the Institute for Operational Excellence and Duggan Associates—takes you beyond Lean and Six Sigma to achieve true Operational Excellence. By developing a “design for operational excellence” you can leverage the operations side of the business to enable continuous growth. Design for Operational Excellence provides the design criteria and guidelines that enable you to grow your business organically by refocusing management’s attention from running the business to growing the business. Duggan takes you step by step through the new principles of Operational Excellence: #1: Design Lean Value Streams #2: Make Lean Value Streams Flow #3: Make Flow Visual #4: Create Standard Work for Flow #5: Make Abnormal Flow Visual #6: Create Standard Work for Abnormal Flow #7: Have Employees in the Flow Improve the Flow #8: Perform Offense Activities Case studies illustrate how companies that applied Duggan’s methods grew consistently over time by designing and implementing a lean flow of product to the customer. The result was a flow that “self healed” when interruptions occurred, which removed the need to manage flow. These methods work in any business environment, not just manufacturing. Everything from insurance, financial, and banking organizations to hospitals, mining companies, universities, and even government can benefit from the bottom-line and topline business results Duggan’s methodology offers. Design for Operational Excellence is the next great leap in the evolution of sustained business growth. Begin designing for growth now and stop reacting to customer needs. Instead, position your operation to provide customer solutions in changing markets, which will lead to profit and growth in even the most severe economic and market downturns.

Download or read book Operational Excellence and Respect written by Levent Turk and published by Levent Turk. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if I told you Operational Excellence is not about learning and applying, but unlearning and abandoning? One-size-fits-all strategies, management, and production systems try to impose their behavioral codes. The results could only be perfect if employees were machines that worked according to preloaded software. However, people act by their feelings. They feel depending on how they think and think according to their desires and beliefs. Systems often ignore humans and try to drive their behavior. But to realize the true potential, we must understand the human condition and utilize the non-productive energy that cannot be visualized and eliminated by systems like Lean and 6-Sigma. If systems cannot measure the problems they create, they cannot reach excellence. Developing a Toyota like culture takes decades. Still, there is a way. You don't need to learn anything new for Operational Excellence. It is all about avoiding mistakes. Most managers have similar goals, make similar mistakes, fail, and learn the same things. With the unique combination of Western Philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, this book decodes the secrets of Operational Excellence based on the experience of a former Toyota General Manager who learned TPS in Japan and successfully implemented it in multiple automotive OEMs. Instead of telling what to do to achieve probable success, I decrypt what not to do to avoid guaranteed failures. If the only source of knowledge is experience as Einstein put it, this book can save you many years of trial and error and common failures. Reviews "5S was once 4S, we added sustain to cope with cultural differences surrounding discipline. The 8 wastes were once the 7 wastes, we added the 8th to cope with cultural differences surrounding respect for humanity. These are both excellent examples of how we often detract from wisdom by adding to it. Thinking we can improve things we don't yet understand has led people down the wrong path for time immemorial. Early in this book, Levent Turk grabs this error in thinking and nails it to the wall with this line; Human potential is not something we need to unleash, but rather, something we frequently block... the rest of the book just gets better from that point forward. The author's firsthand training in Toyota, Japan, senior leadership positions in Toyota over 15 years, and 12 years' experience implementing TPS into non-Toyota production environments provides this book with solid foundations. If this were the book we'd inherited in the 90s, maybe we would now be surrounded by leaders who realise a high-performance culture is more to do with their own beliefs in what good looks like and the conditions they create for human brains to survive in ... and not about training tools and tracking KPIs. What others take a whole book to say, Levent Turk captures in a single paragraph or sentence. This is a book of a 1000 books. If you are in a leadership position and want to create a high-performance culture, do yourself a favour. Hang onto every word, ponder every page, digest, understand, reflect. You will not find a better way to spend your time." David Bovis "Levent Turk has written a remarkable book, one that is truly unique in the genre of TPS and Lean. More than a reflection of a lifetime in business, it is a synthesis of ideas woven into a rich tapestry of valuable insights that readers will enjoy reflecting on and putting into action." Professor Bob Emiliani
