Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adopting standard industry techniques may not promote operating excellence for a local dairy focused on organic products, as these techniques might not align with the unique aspects of organic production and the specific value chain activities of the dairy. Tailored approaches like benchmarking, best practices, TQM/Six Sigma, and business process reengineering are more likely to address the dairy's unique needs and promote excellence.
