The 4 quadrants described in the article “Operations
Innovation & Transformation – the 4 Types Part 1 of 5" positions the
lower left quadrant as a strategy for using a “fleet” of physical assets in a
new way.
In this quadrant, a group of similar industrial operations
(2 or more) adapt their performance objectives, business processes and
accompanying hiring and information strategies to optimize the “fleet.” The move is to unifying the industrial enterprise
over multiple sites (in groups or as a whole), with a more holistic view in
terms of operating strategy and performance management.
