Critical Factors for Successful Operations Management
• Understand the real strength in any operation is its people
• Listen to your people and be willing to “jump in the trenches” to
understand their perspective and feedback
• You can’t manage what you don’t measure – metrics are critical
• Profit focus - continually look for opportunities to improve efficiencies and
create savings
• Set clear, precise, practical goals
• Hold yourself and others accountable for achieving set goals
• Accept and embrace change - understand change is inevitable. What
works well today may not work tomorrow. The key is communication to
keep everyone on the same page.
• Process & Policies can’t stand in the way of business
