Operations Management

You demand both a broader expertise related to operations best practices and a deeper knowledge to solve specific functional problems in today’s increasingly complex and competitive markets. Our goal is to provide a set of frameworks to solve design, planning and operational issues within operations and supply chain. Our frameworks help you to achieve supply chain goals and identify managerial actions that improve performance in terms of the desired goals, in line with strategy.

• Production Optimisation
• Operations Simulation and Forecasting
• Productivity Improvement programs
• Responsiveness Improvement programs
• Managing customer demand versus supply chain dilemmas
• Setting up, managing and maintaining quality standards
• Operations contribution to bottom line analysis

If organisations are to achieve competitive advantage by delivering value to customers, managers need to understand which activities they undertake are especially important in creating that value and which are not. Operations transform the inputs from the organisation value chain into the final product or service.

• A clearly defined need based on supply chain strategy
• Clear expectations about what such technologies can and cannot do for a company
