Achieving operational excellence is a journey every organization must undertake. Achieving excellence is a never-ending quest. There are always new technologies and operational improvements to increase efficiency, which must become part of corporate best practices. Even when a corporation has achieved a high-efficiency level, there is always room for improvement. The key to excellence is benchmarking and continuous self-improvement. An organization cannot make operational improvements overnight. Organizations can only achieve them through a constant process of small incremental changes. Excellence is not a destination but a journey. It is an ongoing process of striving for perfection.
