This one-hour session is to go through the Little’s Law and Law of Variability, the two important laws of operations science that executives must understand for efficacy operations management. Variability is a fact of life. In operations systems, many important quantities are variable, including process times, equipment uptimes, equipment downtimes, product demands, yield rates, number of workers who show up on a given day, and a host of others. Because of the prevalence of variability and its disruptive influence on system performance, understanding it is critical to effective operations management. Little’s Law is the most fundamental principle of operations, which described the fundamental relationship between work in progress, cycle time and throughput. Little’s Law is a very powerful model of the science governing flows in any case. The session will explain these laws by management games and examples.
