Beginners learning structured approaches to managing services and operational information.

Before you enroll

Check the assumptions behind each calculation and distinguish a simplified classroom example from a working operation. Improvements can move a bottleneck elsewhere or introduce a new constraint. Use sample information for exercises, document units and compare alternatives before applying a decision to staffing, inventory or service commitments.
