Operations Management
Categories: Company Management
The nitty and the gritty. The little things. Like...8,000 of them.
If you’re operating a normal ish manufacturing company, you’re dealing with juggling balls all day. But you chose this job. (Shoulda stayed in law school.) So now you have moody machines that break down every third day. You have a cranky air conditioning system that makes life miserable for everyone all the time. You have 312 employees, all angry that they have to be there doing their mind-numbing, repetitive tasks. (They shoulda tried to go to law school.) And now all of you are subject to a globally competitive world, where human rights aren’t exactly a Thing in many countries. And yet they all sell the same low-tech thing—underwear, socks, hair netting, condoms.
So if you don’t operate efficiently and competitively, you all end up out of work. Yeah, law school, next life.
