This approach focuses on setting standards, evaluating maturity, and providing both direct and indirect support to ensure the successful implementation of best practices. The document also includes models for conceptualizing and executing improvements, providing a clear framework for continuous improvement. This disciplined and rigorous approach ensures that operational excellence is not just a one-time initiative, but a sustainable, ongoing effort.
