The Operational Excellence Standard™
The codified criteria defining what an Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) requires. COPEX provides the independent standard against which facilities and advisory transformations are objectively audited.
Policy Deployment (Hoshin Kanri)
Ensure complete horizontal and vertical alignment between executive strategy and daily frontline work.
The Operational Maturity Index (OMI)
COPEX evaluates facilities across five progressive stages to determine baseline performance and build structured multi-year roadmaps.
No codified standards. Operational performance depends entirely on heroic firefighting and individual tribal memory.
Visual 5S established, baseline standard work documented, localized departmental tracking.
Value streams mapped, living hour boards active, cross-functional flow pacing established across cells.
Live digital OEE via MyGemba, daily supervisory Toyota Kata coaching cadences, DMAIC variance elimination.
Institutional operational line-of-sight, predictive process capability, self-sustaining continuous improvement.
