Maturity
Thriving
- Processes are highly optimized, contributing to a competitive edge.
- Run transitions are seamless, with minimal disruptions.
- The commitment to process improvement is ingrained and drives innovation.
Empower teams to drive optimization and improvement autonomously.
Mastering
- Processes are systematically optimized, with ongoing monitoring and improvements.
- Run transitions are well-managed, with a commitment to minimizing disruptions.
