EVENT INTRODUCTION

The 2nd ASEAN Operational Excellence Summit 2025 (ASEAN OPEX 2025) is poised to be an extraordinary gathering, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to elevate operational excellence across Asia. As the business environment rapidly evolves, Operational excellence (OPEX) remains a critical endeavor for organizations across sectors. More than just a buzzword, OPEX is a strategic imperative that enhances companies’ processes. From modernizing systems and improving performance to reducing overheads and boosting customer loyalty, OPEX offers key business value – driving innovation and competitiveness in an ever-changing business landscape.
Operational excellence is crucial for organizations striving to achieve optimal performance by harmonizing processes, resources, and costs. There are many reasons for achieving OPEX, such as cost efficiencies, customer satisfaction, adaptability, competitive advantage, employee engagement, compliance and data-driven decision making. OPEX will be high on the agenda for many businesses this year. Here are five trends that are set to play an integral role in the OPEX landscape in 2025.

Generative AI and intelligent automation
Operational excellence and sustainability goals: Sustainability and carbon footprint reduction are increasingly viewed as modern business cornerstone
Supply chain management
Accelerated software delivery: “Operational teams are likely to regain control over resource allocation. Software engineering will shift from the realm of individual productivity to team efficiency.”
Inflationary challenges and budgets: With inflation rates rising, operations leaders must develop new strategies for purchasing and cost management
