Execution for Operations

‘Operations’ is hard and execution is critical. To be successful in Manufacturing, Logistics, and Warehousing you need to be good at both. Execution for Operations is focused on a paradigm shift in how to use execution to drive outcomes for your business. You will learn to see where you are, identify where you need to be, and build a plan to get there. This information is valuable for all operations leaders, both for the role you are in now and to help you get to that next one.

Demand Driven Planning

All operations have variation, that’s part of what makes it hard to plan and manage. Demand Driven Planning
piggy backs on Execution for Operations and focuses on how to conduct your planning based on your actual demand variation, as opposed to having to adjust your workload to fit operational constraints. Seeing, understanding, and flexing with your demand variation enables you to scale results and execute at a level that few businesses can.
