Talk:Operational excellence

Untitled
I know, this is a pretty meager start, but I just had time to clean up the format a little and to add the first decently informative non-advertising link I could find. Spalding 16:46, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to ask that the article refrain from stating the list of values associated with OE (there were six listed before I removed them). I am requesting this because that particular statement is more or less a trade secret of a specific consulting/coaching firm. It was by accident that it showed up in the first place. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.179.37.3 (talk) 17:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Operational Excellence is not inherently "proprietary", nor are the "values associated" with OE. Perhaps the details of a specific deployment approach or methodology might be considered proprietary - but I have seen many such published and in the "public domain", so I would be skeptical of any such claim.

I find this article contaminated with obvious comercial material. Furthermore there is not a word of the obvious link to the very much more reknowned LEAN framework. What are the difference? Is Operational Excellence just a brand for the same thing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.226.203.53 (talk) 20:22, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Original & notable use of the term?
The article suggests that a dutch company invented this in 2010, while the genesis of Operational Excellence as one of the Tracey/Wiersma's "value disciplines" dates to the 1990s.

The earlier use should have priority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.248.107.194 (talk) 15:05, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I think that reference is to a different (proprietary?) use of the term. Does not seem especially fitting in this article. MikeBz (talk) 05:33, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Rewrite in July 2012
This article was pretty lackluster in its previous form. It was also (understandably) tagged as a personal reflection and for buzzwords. I've made an attempt at starting it mostly fresh and trying to link to public sources. MikeBz (talk) 05:33, 12 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm going to continue down this path. I've recruited at least one other professional in the discipline to help.  Hopefully others will join in.  It may be difficult for us to limit personal bias in how the topic is covered but I am confident the community will assist in moderating. MikeBz (talk) 21:15, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
