Abstract:
Continuous improvement implies a focus on solving a series of quality problems, reducing inventories, eliminating waste and increasing productivity. However, it is clear that being lean, cost-effective and of high quality is not enough and it does not guarantee the growth of any business. This paper aims to highlight the importance of operational excellence, which is a concept referring to an effective focus on customers in order to achieve excellence at business level.
