Operational Excellence (OpEx) is a disciplined approach to achieving sustainable improvements in performance by embedding continuous improvement into daily operations. It applies Lean, Six Sigma, and problem-solving methods to eliminate waste, reduce variation, and streamline processes. More than tools, OpEx builds a culture of accountability and problem-solving, where employees at all levels contribute to delivering value, improving quality, and enabling consistent, reliable, and efficient operations. The Operational Excellence (OpEx) Summer Intern will gain practical experience in continuous improvement by supporting small projects, data analysis, and process mapping. The internship provides exposure to Lean methodologies, structured problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration while contributing to efficiency and quality improvements across operations.
