Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence

OPX360 is our company-wide Operational Excellence system, a unified way of working that connects every site, every team, and every process across operations. It defines what great looks like and gives us the tools to achieve it.

Purpose

Six Pillars, One Standard

OPX360 gives us a single system to benchmark, measure, and improve performance across six core pillars of our value stream:

  • EHS&S
  • Quality
  • Supply Chain
  • Continuous Improvement
  • People
  • Asset Care

Measuring What Matters

Success starts with clear targets, real-time insights, and transparent performance. Monthly KPI scorecards hold every site accountable and help teams understand where they re winning and where they need to improve. OPX360 turns data into dashboards and actions that highlight trends, top-performing locations, and breakthrough results.


The LIFT Process

Measurement is only part of the story, and the support behind the results matters just as much. Through LIFT (Leaders for Improvement & Facility Transformation), leaders partner with sites to identify root causes, solve problems, and elevate operational capability.


Factory Championship

When we deliver results, we celebrate our people. The OPX360 Factory Championship program recognizes and rewards our top-performing plants: those that hit the numbers and live the continuous improvement behaviors that fuel our momentum. OPX360 is more than a system. It represents who we are becoming: a stronger, more consistent, more competitive Novolex. Every improvement becomes part of our new normal, captured, shared, and strengthened across our network.
