The Operational Excellence (OPEX) center studies and disseminates knowledge about operational excellence approaches, practices, and tools.

In particular, it focuses on:

• Lean Thinking and how to create value, reduce waste, and develop people for continuous improvement;
• Six Sigma to promote the value of data, improve process control and increase quality;
• Agile to respond quickly to change, adapt to variation, and collaborate with customers to solve a problem.

The center deals with manufacturing and service industries of all sectors, both from a desing perspective, from an organizational perspective and from a management perspective (planning and scheduling of activities).

Particular attention is paid to the study of the interaction between operational excellence and the dual transition (digital and sustainable) and the use of Artificial Intelligence.
