We have had a good response to our test version of the Operational Excellence Assessments system.

We have now closed down this release. If you did review the test product please don’t forget to let us know why you think. You can do this by responding to the following questions at our Contacts page.

• Is the Excel-based system easy to use and to navigate?
• Are the questions detailed enough?
• Is the guidance and commentary useful?
• Should it be expanded?
• Do you think that the use of a system like this could help your management improve the safety and operability of your facility?

Thank you.

The following documents are still directly available.

• The Operational Excellence User Guide. This document tells you how to use this Excel-based system.
• A 12 page White Paper Assessing Operational Excellence that provides the background to this system.
• A 22 minute video Introduction to Operational Excellence Assessments.

We are pleased to announce the release of a test version of our Operational Excellence Assessment system. Feel free to download this version of the system from our storefront. You will be asked to provide an email address, but not a credit card number because this test version is free. All that you need is a copy of Microsoft Excel and about 10 minutes of time.
