Page 1 of 16
Introduction
Operational excellences refer to the improvisation and betterment in the performance of the
employees and the organisation. Employees act as an integral part in the production process
whose performance is parallel to the productivity of the organization. Skilled and experienced
employees help in deriving positive outcome and meet the expectation of customer’s need.
Pharmaceutical industry deals with the production of drugs and medicines. It needs a group of
skilled chemist, physician and employees in preparation, marketing and selling of the drugs and
medicines. The operational process in the pharmaceutical industry is more productive and
experimental as compared to other sectors. The medicines and drug acts as the sustenance of life
for the people suffering from diseases. Skilled labours and experimental operational process need
to be controlled in producing the medicines for any negligence can result in discrepancy that will
affect the health of people. Operational excellence helps in reducing operational complexities
and chance of occurrence of risks.
Overview of the business model
The facet of operational excellence refers to the definite framework with the help of which the
management of philosophy associated with leadership takes place, which ultimately results in
continuous improvement throughout the premises of the organisation. On the other hand, in the
viewpoint of Pandey and Bharadwaj (2016), it is also important to note that, there are varied
approaches and models, which are associated with the working principles of operational
excellence. In the context of the pharmaceutical industry, it can be said that, the definite facets
and processes associated with operational excellence tends to play an important role in the
promulgation of the definite operative methods, which needs to be taken into effective account.
Therefore, as per commented by Chaturvedi et al. (2017), it is to be noted that, in order to
facilitate the current overview of the pharmaceutical industry, with an emphasis on the
operational excellence, the operational excellence strategy model has been chosen to proceed
with the study. It is to be noted that, the propositions that are prevalent in the strategic business
Page 2 of 16
model is considered to be a manifestation of the definite processes and procedures that are
relative of the current working condition of the pharmaceutical industry.
In the viewpoint of Lawrence and Kopcha (2017), it is to be noted that, an operational excellence
strategy model tends to create a proper business management process that effectively encourages
the improvement of the denoted processes. On the other hand, it is also important to note that, the
facet of operational excellence tends to serve as the primary focus on the event based model of
development towards a definite long term change in the organisational culture.
As per the propositions of the operational excellence framework and model, it can be said that, in
the present scenario of the pharmaceutical industry, the organisations need to reshape and rethink
about their definite approach towards the proper execution of the development methods that are
being adopted by them. As per commented by Kleinebudde et al. (2016), it is to be noted that,
the adequate achievement of the operational excellence model tends to require an accomplishing
implementation of the strategic interventions that are prevalent in the pharmaceutical industry.
However, it is to be noted that, the integration of the operational excellence model is based on
four definite building blocks, which are as follows:
Strategy development: the facet of strategy development comprises of strategic mapping of the
definite processes and procedures that are to be adopted by the pharmaceutical industry. On the
other hand, in the viewpoint of Jone et al. (2015), this facet also refers to the definition of a well
implemented strategy that tends to serve the needs and requirements of the definite processes that
tend to ensure effective collaboration and alignment. Within the different parts of the
organisation, strategy development tends to play a significant role in the promulgation of the
Page 3 of 16
definite processes and procedures. However, as per commented by Gereffi (2017), it can be said
that, after much assessment, it has been found that, based on definite Balanced Scorecards, the
initiation of the critical operational excellence takes place in the context of definite projects and
assigned activities.
Performance management: the second building block of operational excellence model is the
aspect of performance management. It is to be noted that, the operational excellence processes
that are prevalent within the premises of the organisation tends to significantly translate the
definite features that are associated with strategic or operational objectives. These objectives
tend to ensure effective alignment among the different levels and parts of the desired
pharmaceutical organisations. Performance management helps in ensuring alignment of definite
organisations under the pharmaceutical industries towards the achievement of common and
specified goals and objectives (Messner, 2016).
Process excellence: the primary characteristic feature of the pharmaceutical industry is
essentially process centered organisations, which are well designed, effective and efficient. In the
viewpoint of Haleem et al. (2015) are responsible for value creation and tend to support the
processes in order to significantly deliver the pharmaceutical products and services to their
customers in a convenient manner. The significance of process excellence lies in the fact that,
with the help of effective methods and processes, it will be easy and convenient for the
pharmaceutical industry to adopt significant operational excellence within the premises of the
definite organisation.
High performance work team: the work teams those are present in the pharmaceutical industry
needs to have a right and proper attitude, which will be convenient to carry out the necessary
processes and procedures that needs to be taken into effective consideration. The organisations
with operational excellence tend to achieve and sustain the right mindset and competencies in
order to strive an increase in the education and engagement of the necessary processes and
propositions, which are to be taken into consideration. With the help of strong values and
guiding principles along with competence development in a constant manner, it will be easy and
convenient to attain high performance work teams (Gereffi, 2017).

Key principles of the OE model
Operational Excellence Strategy Model is an element that stresses on the usage of principles and
tools and that results in supportable improvement for the key performing procedures in the
metrics. The Model works under some strategies that helps in completing the works on time and
easily are as follows:
1. It offers predictive reporting performance metrics which involves the closure rate, quality
and system in different format which is more appropriate that occurs in the operational
excellence strategy model.
2. Incorporation of the different methodology that is being used in the company and makes
it an efficient working process.
3. It helps in providing the metric process that encourages the improvement of works and in
this strategy model excellence.
4. It offers accessibility to the different process documentation and different operating
procedures that impacts the performance metrics of the company.
5. Incorporates the innovatively determined strategies that helps in working in the overall
system of the operations that are being done as per the systems
The provided points help in determining the different strategies under which the model works
and make it easy for the company to complete the works on time and efficiently. The principles
under which the company on are as follows that helps in making the performances as per the
needs and wants of the customers.
Principle 1: Design lean value streams
Designing end-to-end value stream flow that will help in starting the time received from the
order or requires from the different services that is being worked out in the company. This helps
in setting up the future stage map for the company. This process helps in knowing the
information that will make the flow effective in various ways possible. The connections are
being created through the different process through which products are being done and make it
effective for the company in various ways possible.
Principle 2: Make lean value the streams flow
The products that had been developed through the process of lean value system may need to be
done in efficient manner. This will provide the company to work and perform the work as per the
Page 5 of 16
needs of the customers. Under this the company may need to take care of the products in an
efficient manner. If the flow will be efficient in performing the tasks, then the company would be
able to take up the charge and work efficiently. It is the duty of the higher authority to make
specify the communication system among the employees in terms of bring clarity in the process
of specifying the instruction.
Principle 3: Make flow optical
The performances that is being done will need to be visible to the customers this will improve
the performance of the company even more. This will take up the works to the point under which
the performance of the company will make it effective for the company to take a look at the
performances of the company in different ways possible. In the strategic plan the management
can provide stress on efficiency of team work as well as the responsibility of the team leader.
Assessing the performance and knowledge, management can provide responsibility to the
employee to play the role of leader.
Principle 4: Create an standard of work flow
It may need to be the duty of the company to effectively deal with the works that are being done
and on the virtue of which the standards that had been set up helps in working and performing
efficiently. Management of organizations can follow the program relating to the departments
such as govern, design, implement and nurture the organisational excellence. The standard will
be helpful in completing the works in time and without any problem. Under this the company
needs to take up the performance as per the needs of the customers. This may need to be the duty
of the customers to know about the performances of the company on the virtue of which it may
lead the products to be observed in market.
Principle 5: Creating of abnormal flow visuals
If there will be any abnormal flow of working, the company may need to take care of the works
and perform in an effective manner. Under this way the company may need to be on the mark
and perform as per the ways this will take up the performance to the next level. There may be
some abnormal visuals way of performances under which the performance may need to be taken
into consideration in the different ways possible.
Principle 6: creating a standard work for the abnormal flow of works
The standard of works may need to be maintained under which the performance of the company
will lead up to a great extent. This standard will lead up the performances of the company to be
Page 6 of 16
done as per the ways the company may get up to the next level of performance (Haleem et al.
2015). Under this the abnormal flow of work it may need to be taken care in different efficient
processes as follows. This will take up the works to the point under which the performance of the
company will make it effective for the company to take a look at the performances of the
company in different ways possible.
Principle 7: having employees that may help in improving the works
Employees would need to be the person who may need to take care of the performances of the
company and on the virtue of which it may lead up the works in different ways possible. It can
be added that the organization is required to focus on the business process through understanding
the performance and capability. Employees are referred as the main individual who take up all
the works of the company and performs in different efficient ways possible. Under this way of
working the employees are the responsible individual that looks after the performance of the
organization in an efficient way possible. It is the duty of the higher authority to make specify
the communication system among the employees in terms of bring clarity in the process of
specifying the instruction.
Principle 8: Performing offense activities
It is to be noted that, the facets and features that are associated with operational excellence is
characterized by effective business growth. On the other hand, it is also important to note that,
this tends to give management ability to the running of operation into the growth of business.
Therefore, in the context of pharmaceutical industry, it can be said that, effective business
propositions can only take place with the help of reducing and eliminating the pointed put
activities and operations that are performed by the managerial heads of the organisations. The
different activities related to offense and its principle attached with the harmful consideration of
different situation that can lead towards harming the individual. The preventive measures and
actions thus need to guide the entre perspective in a suitable manner. Principles of utility and its
planning-based activities cordially s connected with another set of offense activities. Civilised
community often purposefully or non-purposefully exercise some of the unlawful actions that
directs towards social issues against the will of an individual if any action get initiated or not
getting informed by the entire criteria, forcefully indulge into something wrong. The declaration
of different rights of men needs to be advocated within eth industry in conducting smooth
Page 7 of 16
operational process. The principles justifying different legislations incorporating some of the
important rules and regulations will be able to prevent the occurrence of risk within eth industry.
Addressing some of the specific problem within the setting of pharmaceutical sector needs to
consist of solution-based evidences. For the purpose of this paper, the principles essentially
follow up the distinctions and exposition of the situational variants catered the systematic way
out while the offense principle has been received the scant attention with the incorporation of
significant exposition. The Justification of Federal Communication Commission , the federal
government and authority of overseas has been shouldering the power of revoking the license of
authorized companies.
Key elements of the model
After an assessment, regarding the proper assonance of operational excellence, it can be said
that, there are certain elements and key determinants, which tends to act as a significant
manifestation of the existing rules and regulations along with necessary business propositions,
which needs to be taken into consideration. On the other hand, it is also important to note that,
these key elements tend to act as an epitome of the definite processes methodologies, which are
associative of the current overview of the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, in the viewpoint of
Sieckmann et al. (2018), the projected determinants and key elements of the operational
excellence model vested are as follows:
Manufacturing strategy: the research that is based on the manufacturing of the strategy is well
known and is effectively accepted in the organisations. The compositional and elemental facets
those are associated with the processes of manufacturing strategy tends to objectify the
distinctions that are prevalent under the competitive priorities. It is to be noted that, these definite
strategies are required to draw customer attention towards the acquisition of the pharmaceutical
propositions of the definite industry. On the other hand, in the viewpoint of Lee et al. (2015), it
is to be noted that, product quality in the pharmaceutical industry is often considered as qualifier
in the facets of operational excellence that needs to be met for effective market access. Thus, in
the markets of the pharmaceutical industry, it is essential and mandatory to meet up with the
quality requirements in order to grant market access in a convenient manner. Thus, it can be
propagated by stating the fact that, the manufacturing strategy and the processes that are
Page 8 of 16
associated with the current business framework of the pharmaceutical industry, it is important to
point out the essential necessary requirements, which needs to be taken into consideration
(Dodgson, 2018).
Manufacturing output and capabilities: this particular aspect states the fact that, there have
been a number of strategic priorities, which needs to define the key manufacturing strategies that
are being propagated by the organisations under the pharmaceutical industry. In the viewpoint of
Adamo et al. (2016), it is to be noted that, as per the current scenario and overview of the
communicable and non-communicable diseases, the primary focus of the pharmaceutical
industry lies in the fact that, it intends at the strengthening of the disease management processes
in order to entrust the responsibility of a dedicated task force in order to effectively locate the
manufacturing capabilities in each of the medical vertical in the production of pharmaceutical
products. With a set of competitive priorities, it is important to specify and measure the extent to
which a definite pharmaceutical dimension that are applied in order to control the manufacturing
capability of the in order to improve the change. It is to be noted that, the existence of
manufacturing capability tends to create an opportunity to attain creativity and effective
productivity within the premises of the pharmaceutical industry (Gutmann et al. 2015).
Total productive maintenance: the primary aim of TPM is designed to effectively denote the
equipments that are required for the easy access and affordability of the designated efficiency,
which occurs throughout the organisational premises. On the other hand, in the viewpoint of
Madhav et al. (2018), it is also important to note that, the maintenance of management within the
premises of the TPM program are usually divided into definite short term activities in order to
attain long term efforts.
Total quality management: it is often considered as one of the dominant aspects and
paradigms, which are associated with quality management. On the other hand, as per commented
by Singh and Bhatia (2015), it is also important to note that, the theoretical and practical
approaches that are associated with the attainment of recognizable results tend to play an
important role in the promulgation of necessary facets and procedures. The controlling and
inspection of the final product is essentially inspected into the sorting out of the defensive units
by a definite and separate department and procedures. The current modern approaches that are
associated with total quality management tends to focus on the process quality and with the
Page 9 of 16
implementation of the prevention of failure methods, it will be easy and convenient to undertake
and adopt definite facilitations that are present in the pharmaceutical industry.
Lean manufacturing: the processes and procedures that are associated with lean production in
the pharmaceutical industry tend to state the fact that, in the times of global competition, the
manufacturing companies essentially strive for the improvement of the performance level. On
the other hand, in the viewpoint of Jain et al. (2014), it is also important to note that, the
application and implementation of the lean approaches that are associated in the tenets of the
pharmaceutical industry, intends at influencing the practical approaches of lean production in the
delivery of products and services.
Implementation of good governance: it is to be noted that, the implementation of good
governance tends to play an important role in the effective governance principles of the
identification of the necessary responsibilities that are being implemented in order to manage the
legal as well as financial and ethical obligations (Valmohammadi and Roshanzamir, 2015).
Therefore, in the viewpoint of Annabi et al. (2015), it is important to speculate that, after an
extensive assessment, it can be propagated by stating the fact that, the predominant elements of
operational excellence plays a significant role in the propagation and formulation of the
necessary processes and procedures that needs to be taken into account. It is to be noted that, the
primary goal that is assigned to operational excellence tends to state the fact that, the
management of business in the present pharmaceutical industry, has become integrated largely
and is characterised by the specification of provision of equipments, which include supply chain
as well as technical capabilities. On the other hand, it is also important to note that, the
complexities that are prevalent in the overview of the pharmaceutical industry can be a
challenging aspect through the process of implementation. It is also important to note that, the
facet of product development and application of thinking also tends to play an important function
in the growth of business. Thus, in the context of pharmaceutical industry, it can be said that, it is
important to identify the necessary propositions, which are associated with the factors relative of
leadership and management (Schilling and Neubauer, 2017). The definite value system that is
present in the pharmaceutical industry defines the presence of stakeholders that tends to denote
the ways by which the organisation essentially operates. Thus, it can be said that, the current
employees who are working with the industry needs to be provided with a developmental path,
which will eventually result in the management of teamwork and development. However, as per
Page 10 of 16
the tenets generated by business excellence framework, it can be said that, with the development
of value proposition and release of individual skill of the employees of the organisations, it will
be beneficial for the continuous improvement of the effective responsiveness and adaptability of
the processes and procedures that needs to be taken into effective account. Furthermore, it is
imperative to note that, the pharmaceutical industry also needs to focus on the sustainable results
that are effectively pointed out in order to attain results and definite outcomes. Improvement of
performance with the use of relevant data and logistic in order to understand the variability of
improving strategic as well as operational decision making processes. The cost and performance
management in the premises of the pharmaceutical industry is also an important facet, which is
associated with the improvement of the basic methods that are extensively followed (Brown and
Grundy, 2016).
Assessment and implementation of model
As per the proposition of operational excellence, it can be said that, the operational excellence
model and the propositions that are associated with it tends to play an important role in the
promulgation of the necessary processes and procedures that needs to be taken into effective
consideration. Thus, the assessment and implementation of the model is as such that, the
strategic interventions need to be adopted by the pharmaceutical industry in order to attain
creativity and significant productivity in the organisational premises.
The application of OE model by an organisation in Pharmaceutical industry
Operational excellence model can be mentioned by the process through an organisation can
develop their work procedure as well as enhance the business growth of an organisation. It can
be added that the operation excellence model can be implemented in the organisational industry
in terms of creating value of the business process (Stojanovic and Nedic, 2016). In addition to
that, it can be said that the pharmaceutical organisation has to focus on the matter of accuracy in
terms of preparing medicine using drugs. For this reason organisation is needed to focus on the
recruitment procedure in terms of ensuring quality of preparing medicine.
It can be said that management of organisation of a pharmaceutical organisation is needed to
focus on the process of preparing a strategic plan in order to reach the business goal of the
organisation (Schneider et al. 2015). For this reason the management of the organisation is
Page 11 of 16
required to prepare an effective business operational budget to assess the requirements of the
financial funding in terms of executing the operational plan. Management of organisations can
follow the program relating to the departments such as govern, design, implement and nurture
the organisational excellence.
It can be added that the management of an organisation can focus on the infrastructure as well as
organizational structure. In the strategic plan the management can provide stress on efficiency of
team work as well as the responsibility of the team leader. Assessing the performance and
knowledge, management can provide responsibility to the employee to play the role of leader.
Primarily, strategic planning can be prepared based on the capability of the strength of the
organisation specifically the value creating ability of the employees of the organisation. In the
strategic planning, the management is required to focus on the communication process regarding
the matter of improving the work operation in the organisation. It is the duty of the higher
authority to make specify the communication system among the employees in terms of bring
clarity in the process of specifying the instruction. It can be added that the management is
required to follow the effective and specific communication system in relation to keep evidence
of communication system. On the other hand the management of the organisation can
concentrate on the issue of proper application of feedback relating to the matter of following the
way of work operation. It can be said that it is duty of the management of the pharmaceutical
organisation to implement the procedure through which the employees and the higher authority
or the employees who are provided the responsibility to supervision can be interrelated.
In order to implement the operational excellence planning, the management of a organisation is
required to focus on the matter of keeping organisational structure well. For these reason the
management of the organisation has to control the irrelevant issues like behavioural problems,
ego problems among the employees. In order to reach the goal the management is required to
implement the value such as providing priority in the competency (McGlacken et al. 2018). In
relation to that the management of a pharmaceutical organisation can keep the neutral image and
can control the organisational politics. In addition to that the management can avoid allegation
regarding the matter of biased in the organisation. The management is required to assess the
system of communication in relation to maintain the process of feedback properly. It is needed to
specify the matter of responsibility in terms of performing a particular task. It means an
employee is needed to know that in terms of executing the task if any problem is raised then
Page 12 of 16
whom to be informed or where to go. On the the other hand the higher authority is also needed to
specify the responsibility in terms of performing the act of supervision (Dubey et al. 2015).
On the other hand the management of the organisation is needed to introduce motivational
approaches regarding the matter of upgrading the work atmosphere of the organisation. It can be
added that these approaches can heighten the business value of the organisation.
Approach of assessing performance of the organisation through the OE model
Successfulness of operational excellence model is depended on the proper system which is
required to implement in order to heighten the business organisation. It can be added that the
organisation is required to focus on the business process through understanding the performance
and capability. The management of the organisation is also needed to keep data and information
in terms of keep the evidence to bring changes in plan as per requirement of organisation and the
market condition.
● Keep proper documentation of the productivity of the employees:
The management of the organisation is required to focus on the the matter of keeping documents
of the performance of the employees in relation to the matter of reaching to the goal and
objective. In addition to that mitigation of deadline can be marked as a criteria to assess the
performance of the employees. On the other hand the management of the organisation is required
to provide stress on the matter of upgrading productivity of the employees relating to the matter
of heightening the business process of the organisation (Chaturvedi et al. 2017). The
management can keep the documentation of the performance of the employee in terms of
assessing the value of the performance in terms of upgrading the performance of the employees.
In relation to that the higher authority has to recruit neutral performance indicating system in
connection to assess the performance of the organisation. The management can provide the
responsibility to the HR department of the organisation in relation to make assessment of the
performance of the employee. Through the process the management can assess the performance
of the employee based on the effectiveness of the employee. It can be marked that the
management can make decisions assessing on the different qualities of the employees such as the
the decision making ability of the organisation as well as the multitasking ability of the
employees. In addition to that based on the performance of the employees the process of business
growth can be occured.
● Arrange meeting to provide proper feedback:
Page 13 of 16
Performance indicating process and its result can be implemented by the arrangement of meeting
procedure. It can be added that the management is required to organise meeting in relation to
inform the employees about their strength, weakness and the way out of the problems can be
analyzed in the meeting. The management, especially the HR team is required to focus on the
meeting procedure in terms of clarifying the growth of the employees in relation to their
performance. The HR team is required to handle the situation regarding the matter of the say or
complain of the employees regarding the work procedure (Leker and Utikal, 2017).
● Providing motivational approaches as well as stress free atmosphere:
An organization in pharmaceutical industry needs to focus on motivational process to enhance
the performance of the employees. The HRM needs to implement performance appraisal process
to find out the performing and nonperforming employees. Based on it, an organisation needs to
implement reward policies in which it needs to provide rewards for the achievement of the
employees. An organization can also promote its employees and provide incentive to motivate
them to work effectively. It can also arrange training process of non performing employees and
communicate with them to gain knowledge about their problems. It can be helpful to develop
trust and motivate those employees to improve their work (Leker and Utikal, 2017).
● Arrangement of the training classes to improve the quality regarding the matter of
improving work process: with the implementation of effective training classes, it will
help in the improvement of the quality assurance that are associated with improvement of
work process. In the context of operational excellence, it can be said that, as the
employees who are working with the pharmaceutical industry is provided with proper
training and induction, it will be easy and convenient for the employee to understand the
framework of business excellence that are present within the premises of the industry.
Furthermore, in the viewpoint of Graban (2016), it can also be said that, the basic
objectives that are being protected by the managerial heads of the organisation also tends
to play an important role in the promulgation of the necessary processes and procedures
that needs to be taken into effective consideration. On the other hand, it is also important
to note that, unlike the initiatives of continuous development, the employees are
employed at a lower in order to increase the productivity. However, with the help of
proper training, the employees tend to understand the roles and responsibilities that have
Page 14 of 16
been assigned to them, in order to create an increase of creativity and excellence towards
their work (Robinson, 2017).
The application of the plan to improve the work process
In pharmaceutical industry, the organisational excellence model is necessary to manage the
workflow and enhance productivity. In this process, different components of organizational
excellence can be implemented effectively to get desired results in the organisations under this
industry. The communication is necessary to maintain the interaction between the employees and
management and also with customers, suppliers and distributors. Effective communication is
helpful to mitigate any conflict between different stakeholders within this industry and the
workflow can be maintained by the management of an organisation. An organisation needs to
maintain internal communication to gain knowledge about different problems and performance
gap and it is helpful to take proper steps to enhance productivity (McGlacken et al. 2018).
The leadership and management is also necessary plan the workflow in the organisations under
pharmaceutical industry. The management needs to divide and allocate the work within different
teams and the leaders must show the correct path to their subordinates to complete the works
effectively within a specific time. The management also needs to conduct performance appraisal
process to identify the employees who can work efficiently.
The human resource is an essential part of the organizational excellence as they are assigned to
manage the organisation. The HRM needs to plan properly to run the organization recruit
employees on their skills and experience. They need to be unbiased in this process and also
conduct effective training and development process or the employees. The training and
development is helpful to enhance the skills of the employees and help them to acquire new skill
that enables their productivity (Nolan and Anderson, 2015).
Conclusion
The global world is undergoing complications and complexities due to the changing needs and
demands of people. Operational excellence depends n the actions and experience of the
employees. The talents, skills and experience need to be exercised effectively within the given
period of time. The employees need to manage their skills and experience and shape them
towards dynamism. Therefore, it can be concluded by stating the fact that, the facets and
Page 15 of 16
principles of operational excellence tends to play an important role in the promulgation of the
processes and procedures that needs to be taken into consideration. On the other hand, it is also
important to note that, with the proper guidance from the business excellence framework, it
becomes easy and convenient for the industry to get an idea regarding the importance of such
management strategies in a definite industry.
