Two-Minute Videos
The institute’s two-minute videos cover a wide range of operations science concepts and case studies for quick-hitting, powerful insight.
Books
There is a wealth of research, scholarship and practical application examples available on operations science. With its origin in Factory Physics, the initial books are on that topic. For those who don’t work in manufacturing or factories or are a bit intimidated by the “physics” term, there is a simple solution. Anywhere the term “factory physics” occurs, substitute “operations science.”
The secret to success is not the name but how the science is applied to an individual’s specific situation. This is part of the mission of the Operations Science Institute, to help people successfully apply the science in the context of their own work.
