Our Center of Excellence (CoE) offers a dedicated
team of experienced domain experts whose
primary focus is to track and analyze the evolving
needs and emerging technology trends across
the manufacturing lifecycle. This business and
technology group functions as an integral part of
our engagement with clients at every stage.
Operational Excellence
Operational Excellence is a systematic approach to
attaining world class performance in productivity,
quality and delivery of services and/or goods.
It is the goal of achieving superior yields, lead
time and through-put whilst eliminating waste.
Operational Excellence is centered on three main
pillars:
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENECE
Higher coordination between these three pillars
is required in order to achieve overall operational
excellence. While disparate point solutions
are required to address critical functionalities
associated with Planning, Asset Management,
Quality and Execution, without interoperability
and integration it is extremely difficult to drive
operational excellence on an on-going manner.
To aid customers in their journey of operational
excellence, Cognizant looks at three key
dimensions shown below in Figure 3:
