Operational Excellence

Since 1951, OHL has maintained a competitive advantage and continuously strives to achieve operational excellence. Recognizing the need for additional improvements in labor management, training, standardization of processes, and improved visibility to KPI metrics, the company formed the Operational Excellence implementation team.

In 2007, OHL partnered with Fortna to leverage their experience with Operational Excellence implementations. The Operational Excellence program goes beyond streamlining operations and eliminating non-value added activities. Benefits of the OHL Operational Excellence Program include:
