ABSTRACT
As industry leaders, we still see more than half of our quality and
operations excellence initiatives "fail" (or, more precisely, because we
rarely acknowledge failures -- quietly and politely fade into irrelevance and
obscurity),
.....but years of successful experience and empirical data from industry
leaders have also established, beyond reasonable doubt, the key factors
and their interrelationships, as reliable and predictable as the "laws of
physics", for sustained success and performance improvement in quality
and operational excellence. What can we learn from the successes of
industry leaders?

“Laws of Physics” for Sustained Quality and Operations Excellence (OE)
1. Be clear and aligned on “the destination” (i.e., with meticulous alignment to enterprise
vision, mission, strategic objectives, targeted performance and practices)
2. It‟s a “Transformation” -- Design and implement “holistically” (i.e., with balanced
and complete attention to the technical processes and systems, management systems,
and organizational capabilities and behaviors)
3. Approach Quality and OE “systemically” (i.e., based on thorough accounting for
interdependencies in related processes and systems)
4. Go to “the work” to make the change (i.e., the only change that matters -- “go deep”,
to the line level)
5. Adults “learn by doing” (i.e., Employ adult learning principles and concepts in training
and capability-building.)
6. “Have a pre-flight checklist and flight plan….and follow it.” (i.e., Design and
implement programmatically -- with attention to key enablers and key success factors)
7. Leaders must “LEAD” (i.e., with active, visible support and role modeling)

“Business Transformations” are fundamental changes that penetrate deep within
an enterprise and lead to substantial and sustained performance improvement
Transformation is a conscious transition to a
sustainable way of working at a higher level
of business performance, based on fundamental
shifts in
▪ Ambition
▪ Mindset and behaviors
▪ Capabilities, systems, and processes
Requires integrated program
and dedicated leadership: not
business as usual
Not just
incremental
improvements –
a quantum leap
Financial and
operating
performance
Crosses a threshold;
new levels of
performance
maintained over time
Organizational and
individual skills and
competencies

Integrated Quality and Operations Management Systems (OMSs) are a natural
evolution of Quality Management Systems, developed to drive long-term sustainable
excellence in Operational Integrity (i.e., Safety. Reliability, Environmental
Compliance), Quality, and Efficiency
SOURCE: McKinsey
Operations Management Systems (OMSs) are
deliberately designed to provide or promote
▪ Targeted levels of operational performance
▪ Common standards, guidelines, processes and
practices, organizational capabilities, methods
and tools in all company areas
▪ Internal and external best practices
▪ A holistic, systemic framework for sustaining
and continuously improving performance
▪ Create a common language and culture of
operatingl discipline and excellence
Operations
Management Systems
(OMSs) are the
response of industry
leaders to stakeholder,
competitive, and
regulatory demands for
dramatic, reliable, and
sustained
improvements in
operational
performance

There are a few important principles to understand with regard to Quality and Operations
Management System design and implementation
▪ By nature, management systems need to cover all company
processes (“elements”), in one holistic system; they are therefore
complex, with many interdependencies
▪ Management systems in the oil & gas arena look different on the
highest level but in reality they are very similar in terms of scope
and many common elements
Management
System
Design
Management
System
Implemen-
tation
▪ Having a management system that drives sustainable,
competitive advantage, beyond compliance to e.g. safety
standards requires that “you go deep” to address the required
elements
▪ Implementation on an element-level needs to be holistic, i.e. to
cover 1) the technical system, 2) the management structure around
it as well as 3) the mindsets & capabilities to be sustainable
▪ Such implementation therefore require a well-architected
programmatic approach over a longer period of time (3 years to
build internal capability)

OMS Framework – Oil and Gas Industry Illustration
Source: ExxonMobil
„Exxon Mobil‟s OIMS framework establishes common worldwide expectations for controlling operations
integrity risks inherent in its business‟
„Each operating unit must have in place properly designed and documented management systems that
address all the expectations set out in the OIMS framework‟
“Assurance of
operations integrity
requires
management
leadership and
commitment visible
to the organisation
and accountability
at all levels”
Annual internal assessments and 3–5
yearly external assessment of
management system „status‟ (design and
deployment) and „effectiveness‟
(conformance, execution, impact)
Driver Operations Evaluation
Supported by 64 “expectations”, 256
detailed guidelines on best practice
implementation and 27 common
systems
• Risk assessment and management
• Facilities design and construction
• Information/documentation
• Personnel and training
• Operations and maintenance
• Management of change
• Third-party services
• Incident investigation and analysis
• Community awareness and emergency

Addressing OMS implementation at the lowest level is necessary to impact the actual
work practices and behaviors …….
Implementing an
OMS requires
“going deep”, e.g.
• Cascade company vision
and targeted
performance
expectations (e.g., KPIs)
to lowest levels
• Break down
organizational silos and
facilitate cross-functional
collaboration
• Drive standardization on
internal and external best
practices across
"The actual day-
to-day Work"
"The Defined System“
that is put on paper as a
central, formalized and
maintained system

Objective
▪ Learning of lean principles in a real-life production environment
▪ Experience of significant change through application of lean tool in a realistic production environment
Set-up
▪ End-to-end production of a pneumatic cylinder with a machining center and an assembly line with 8 work stations from raw material to quality tested product
▪ Up to 10 line technicians in operation (trained staffed of the Technical University)
Process
▪ Clients observe a non-optimized workflow at the beginning of the session
▪ Step-by-step teaching and immediate application of performance improvements measures in the work flow
▪ Final target state fully optimized with nearly 100% productivity increase and a reduction of 50% in inventory and required space

Developing talent and
skills
“I have the skills and
competencies to behave in
the new way”
Reinforcing with formal
mechanisms

and systems reinforce the
change in behavior I am
being asked to make”
Mindsets and
behaviors
▪Align management processes (including
strategic, operational, and people planning
and review, 360° feedback, performance
dialogues, and personal development
plans) and systems with the desired
leadership behavior

“Laws of Physics” for Sustained Quality and Operations Excellence (OE)
1. Be clear and aligned on “the destination” (i.e., with meticulous alignment to enterprise
vision, mission, strategic objectives, targeted performance and practices)
2. It‟s a “Transformation” -- Design and implement “holistically” (i.e., with balanced
and complete attention to the technical processes and systems, management systems,
and organizational capabilities and behaviors)
3. Approach Quality and OE “systemically” (i.e., based on thorough accounting for
interdependencies in related processes and systems)
4. Go to “the work” to make the change (i.e., the only change that matters -- “go deep”,
to the line level)
5. Adults “learn by doing” (i.e., Employ adult learning principles and concepts in training
and capability-building.)
6. “Have a pre-flight checklist and flight plan….and follow it.” (i.e., Design and
implement programmatically -- with attention to key enablers and key success factors)
7. Leaders must “LEAD” (i.e., with active, visible support and role modeling)
