YOUR OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE SCORE

Measuring the operational excellence score to plan growth based on facts and measure progress

ARE YOU IN MANUFACTURING?

Then, this section will interest you. 

Zingurbiz provides an operational excellence scan of manufacturing companies' plants. This all-encompassing tool ranks activities on a scale of one to five for efficiency and makes quantitative aspects of manufacturing measurable. 

 

We perform two measurements: 

 

1. The present situation: How efficient is your company right now? 

2. The maximum score in your facility: most of the time, the available assets and manufacturing layout limit the score. 

 

We design the growth strategy using the high-impact traits based on the company's actual performance. 

This tool makes improving operational excellence easy to plan, and progress measurable.
