Solve Performance Problems in Production, Projects, or Services
Over 250 years after the start of the Industrial Revolution, even in today’s age of artificial intelligence, big data, data analytics, and digital technology, many companies still have too much cost, too much inventory and poor on-time delivery performance
The Operations Science Institute trains and coaches operations, supply chain, and project leaders and teams in the cause-and-effect rules for how work flows through a system, so they can fix late deliveries, high inventory, thin margins, and poor efficiency using the resources they already have.
Operations science is the study of the transformation of resources to create and distribute goods and services. It focuses on the interaction between demand and transformation and the variability associated with either or both.
Apply operations science to overcome your challenges. It is not a replacement for your Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints or Agile efforts. Operations science greatly strengthens your people’s skills, and thereby, your improvement efforts.
In service industries, reduce long response times, optimize capacity, and improve customer service while improving profit.
In project management, eliminate delays and budget overruns in R&D, new product development, and construction for more predictable and efficient project delivery.
In operations manage variability to create a structured and less stressful work environment that is more efficient and more profitable with better customer service.
