Abstract

The energy sector faces burning issues due to high challenges in executing operations, where improving the efficiency of the operation will help to overcome these issues. The Operational Excellence (OpEx) methodologies are widely used by industries and are one of the primary proposed solutions for the energy sector. However, in the energy sector, the literature lacks knowledge on the proper OpEx methodology approach. This study evaluates the status quo of the applications of OpEx methodologies in the energy sector and identifies the factors for a systematic approach. The systematic review identified 32 articles from six well recognised libraries. Consequently, the review helped the authors identify the current OpEx methodologies, publication themes, trends, gaps, and mitigation for future research. Furthermore, a bunch of benefits, motivating factors and limitations of OpEx methodologies’ application in the energy sector are presented. The complete work sets the foundation for practical and useful deployment of OpEx methodologies for the sector, which can enable the leadership to make robust decisions for business operations. This study is a comprehensive systematic literature review covering an important sector.

能源部门的卓越运作方法:系统的文献回顾

由于执行作业的高挑战，能源部门面临着亟待解决的问题，提高作业效率将有助于克服这些问题。卓越运营(OpEx)方法被各行各业广泛使用，是能源部门提出的主要解决方案之一。然而，在能源领域，文献缺乏关于适当的运营成本方法方法的知识。本研究评估了OpEx方法在能源领域的应用现状，并确定了系统方法的因素。系统评价从6个公认的图书馆中确定了32篇文章。因此，该综述帮助作者确定了当前的OpEx方法、出版主题、趋势、差距和未来研究的缓解措施。此外，还介绍了OpEx方法在能源领域应用的一系列好处、激励因素和局限性。完整的工作为该部门实际和有用的OpEx方法部署奠定了基础，这可以使领导层为业务运营做出强有力的决策。本研究是一项覆盖重要领域的综合性系统文献综述。
