The Operational Excellence strategy focuses on an optimal delivery process based on customer expectations, without errors, on time and in a cost-effective manner. Symbol helps companies implement this strategy effectively.
To better determine in which direction an organization should develop, Treacy and Wiersema’s value strategy model is often followed. Three generic value strategies help organizations develop an appropriate strategic and operational plan, namely: Operational Excellence, Customer Intimacy (Customer Partnership) and Product Leadership (Product Leadership). According to Treacy and Wiersema, a company must excel in one of these three value strategies while performing at an acceptable level in the other two strategies. <\/p>\n

Symbol specializes in Operational Excellence, looking closely for consistency with the other two value strategies.<\/p>\n

The focus is on continuously improving operational processes by creating a streamlined process and preventing and solving problems. In addition, creating a culture of continuous improvement is important. To this end, Symbol has developed the CIMM growth model, which stands for Continuous Improvement Maturity Model.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Guidelines for Operational Excellence” admin_label=”De sleutels tot Lean succes” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text admin_label=”Het Lean transformatie model van Symbol” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]The basis for Operational Excellence is a well-functioning quality management system (ISO9001, IATF16949, ISO 13485, etc). Quality is important for any organization regardless of size or sector. Lean techniques such as 5S Workplace Organization and Visual Management contribute to a solid foundation. Lean techniques are used to create a stable and predictable process. The focus is on finding and eliminating waste. Symbol helps companies understand, simplify and automate processes. Think about a simple Waste-walk on the shop floor to analytical techniques such as Process Mining and Robotic Process Automation (RPA).[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Problem solving and training” admin_label=”De sleutels tot Lean succes” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text admin_label=”Het Lean transformatie model van Symbol” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]To prevent process disruptions from leading to rejection and downtime, Symbol helps organizations solve problems in a thorough way. We first examine whether problems can be addressed on the shop floor itself, using a Kaizen approach (PDCA). To solve persistent and complex problems we use the Six Sigma approach (DMAIC) and to prevent problems in the R&D process we use Design for Six Sigma (DMADV). Symbol trains and coaches employees in all levels of the organization. The shop floor is trained in Kaizen Problem Solving; engineers, project leaders and experts are trained in Lean Six Sigma (Green and Black Belts) and managers are trained in Lean leadership and Organizational Behavior Management (Champions).[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.symbol.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/continuous_improvement_operational_excellence.jpeg” alt=”Continuous Improvement & Operational Excellence” title_text=”continuous_improvement_operational_excellence” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Case study section” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f7f7f7″ custom_padding=”90px||75px|||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Case study row with main case” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.symbol.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tata-Steel-TV-TataSteel_IJM-by-night_HO6-7.jpg” background_position=”center_right” background_horizontal_offset=”100%” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”5%||40px|5%” custom_padding_tablet=”|5%||” custom_padding_phone=”|||” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” box_shadow_style=”preset7″ box_shadow_horizontal=”0px” box_shadow_vertical=”-100px” box_shadow_color=”#f7f7f7″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_cta title=”200,000 euros savings per year at Tata Steel” button_url=”https:\/\/www.symbol.nl\/en\/referentie\/operational-excellence-thanks-to-six-sigma-data-analysis-tata-steel-does-it\/” button_text=”Read more” admin_label=”Main case” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_font=”|600|||||||” header_font_size=”30px” header_line_height=”1.3em” body_font=”||||||||” body_line_height=”1.8em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#2a2a7f” button_border_width=”12px” button_border_color=”#2a2a7f” button_letter_spacing=”0px” button_font=”|600||on|||||” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”60px|40px|60px|40px” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset5″ box_shadow_vertical=”10px” box_shadow_blur=”55px” box_shadow_spread=”0px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.07)” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
