The concept of Operational Excellence has been around for a very long time. It was developed from the time honored principle in manufacturing businesses of looking for benefit where it is easy to measure.  This generally was at the “make” section in a business (after all materials, people, WIP and time are all easy to measure).  Thus the concept and principles of Production & Manufacturing Engineering were developed and from this the principle of being Operationally Excellent. Over time, these principles - minimizing time, maximizing value, reducing waste, and improving quality - have spread to every element of business and became relevant to companies across all industries.

BearingPoint’s Operational Excellence solution goes back to basics.  The solution is focused on the belief that it is an organizations' people (and the way that they think and behave) that will dictate its success. Accordingly, this solution emphasizes the need for coaching guidance and knowledge transfer.
