The Operations Room

I came across a cool site today that is as dedicated as any other I’ve found to business operations management as I define it.

The Operations Room is written by two Kellogg School of Management professors (Martin Lariviere and Gad Allon).

A couple of their recent posts especially caught my eye – Green Mail and Efficiency Expertise.

Green Mail touches on how the USPS is taking notable steps toward reducing it’s carbon footprint, and in the comments I rant a bit about how it seems so easy to revolutionize the postal system… I’ll probably have to craft a more thorough post about this in the future…

Efficiency Expertise comments on a recent podcast by NPR – Our Messy Inefficient Economy where someone in a similar operations improvement consulting role to the one I have worked comments on how they help companies improve, and a few of the drawbacks of the work too.

Great blog gentlemen, please keep it coming!
