The Operations Assessment Tool was developed by ASG to assist companies in identifying areas of opportunity for improvement and formulating a roadmap to achieve those goals. Founded on the basic principles of the Operations Transformation Model developed by ASG, the assessment process helps companies gain a holistic vision of the business performance from an overall systems perspective. The process provides companies with real time feedback identifying the strengths and weaknesses of their operation or process.

Depending on the clients situation and needs, the Assessment Tool and Process can be easily tailored and applied to analyze:

• The clients own internal operations
