Frequently asked questions
Is operations management only for factories?
No. The same methods of planning capacity, removing bottlenecks and measuring flow apply to hospitals, banks, contact centres and government services.
What is OEE?
Overall equipment effectiveness combines availability, performance and quality into one figure that shows how much of a line's potential output is actually achieved.
How is this different from quality and Lean Six Sigma courses?
Quality courses focus on standards, defects and ISO 9001. These courses focus on planning, capacity, inventory and day-to-day running of operations.
