A help signal, really?
Sadly, yes. Due to internal bias and established management paradigms, companies don’t readily recognize their need to ‘refresh’ their operating model until/unless the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) signals distress in regard to Operating Profit = OpRev – OpEx. However, when this occurs, it is far too late to adequately address either OpRev or OpEx at that point in time. This often leads to measures of survival such as a significant reduction in workforce that have a significant impact upon ongoing operational capability. Such an action can cause a downward spiral and a long tough trek back to balanced operations of Operating Profit = OpRev – OpEx.
- Gross profit is total revenue minus the expenses directly related to the production of goods or the cost of goods sold (COGS).
- Derived from gross profit, operating profit is the residual income after accounting for all costs.
Why wait?
Mgmt-Ctrl, Inc. provides services that enable your OpEx to be professionally managed, for sustained operational efficiency, to ensure the ongoing and sustained success of your business.
You can begin your operational ‘quality journey’ today, simply by taking the first step by recognizing that your business operations must be capable of delivering the products and/or services of the business in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
Business capabilities are the activities an organization carries out, or need to be able to carry out, to conduct its business. For sake of simplicity, business capabilities are into two categories: 1) Core Capabilities, and 2) Support Capabilities. A business capability is therefore defined herein as an ability for a business to accomplish something as a result of its operational structure. A more formal definition is as follows: “A business capability is a particular ability or capacity that a business may possess or exchange to achieve a specific purpose or outcome.” [1]
Your OpEx ‘quality’ management journey begins with:
- Aligning business processes and business capabilities
- Streamlining business processes by defining them through ‘standard work’ documentation.
- Enabling the effectiveness and efficiency of the direct labor workforce.

- for measurement, monitoring, reporting, and review of business process results.

Predictive Quality Management
Predictive Quality Management methods proactively address systemic ‘quality’ constraint associated with people, process, and technology. This most often results in a positive financial contribution to the ‘bottom-line’.
Traditional Quality Management
Traditional Quality Management methods are substantively reactive, managing ‘quality’ only after they have become fully emergent. This most often results in a negative financial contribution to the ‘bottom-line’.
