Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Operational excellence
While I share your distaste for vague buzzword-compliant management strategies, the real question is whether this is a notable topic. It seems so. There is a http://fisher.osu.edu/centers/coe/about-coe/ Center for Operational Excellence at OSU business school where you can get a Masters in the subject. The whole of the University of California is currently suffering under a plan for operational excellence. Gbooks shows many books devoted to the topic. GScholar shows 11,900 hits for '"operational excellence" -wikipedia'. The topic seems ''highly notable'' and is treated in depth in many reliable sources. The article has problems, but this is a matter of editing. A highly notable topic and an article with no insurmountable problems, per , suggests keeping the article
