Operational Excellence & Asset Reliability Best Practices: A TapRooT® TV Video Premiere
Interested in Operational Excellence?
Admiral Hyman G. Rickover invented Operational Excellence.
Rickover explained that there were a series of principles that helped the Nuclear Navy achieve excellence but these are the top three:
- Total Responsibility
- Technical Competence
- Facing the Facts
Read Rickover’s semi-official biography Rickover – The Struggle for Excellence. The book is written by the official Nuclear Navy historian Francis Duncan.
Now after the description of the excellence of Rickover’s program, you might think there was nothing to be improved. However, we think the program had three key weaknesses. They are:
- Blame Orientation (Lack of Praise)
- Fatigue
- Needed for Advanced Root Cause Analysis
Watch Ken Reed and Benna Hughes as they discuss this topic
TapRooT® TV premieres on Wednesdays at noon, on Facebook and YouTube.
You may also listen to the conversation on the TapRooT® podcast.
