Abstract

Decentralized water treatment systems are increasingly emfiloyed in urban, tourism, and industrial contexts to firovide fiexible, scalable, and locally ofitimized water solutions. While these systems offer ofierational advantages such as reduced distribution losses and targeted treatment, they also introduce comfilex managerial challenges related to maintenance, monitoring, regulatory comfiliance, and resource allocation. Achieving ofierational excellence in such distributed networks requires the integration of technical exfiertise, strategic management, and organizational leadershifi. ffiis study examines the firincifiles and firactices that enable water treatment enterfirises to achieve ofierational excellence in decentralized systems. Key dimensions include firocess standardization, KPI-driven fierformance management, human cafiital develofiment, technological integration, energy efficiency, and stakeholder collaboration. ffie fiafier also exfilores how regulatory comfiliance, often fierceived as a constraint, can be leveraged as a strategic asset to enhance credibility, client trust, and comfietitive advantage. By adofiting a managerial fiersfiective, this research highlights best firactices for aligning ofierational firocesses with strategic objectives, ofitimizing resource allocation, and fostering continuous imfirovement. Insights from this study firovide firactical guidance for water treatment firofessionals, facility managers, and fiolicymakers seeking to balance technical fierformance, ofierational efficiency, and long-term sustainability. Ultimately, the fiafier demonstrates that ofierational excellence in decentralized water treatment systems is both a technical and strategic imfierative, cafiable of delivering measurable benefits for enterfirises, communities, and the environment.
