Strategy drives action. Action creates change. Change builds success. Success breeds success. Operations strategy is a significant factor in operations excellence. Successful strategies framework the enterprise to ensure that operations are designed "right the first time" to optimize resources, minimize costs, and leverage core competencies. Tefen works directly with senior management executives to define business objectives and jointly chart a strategic path. We combine multi-disciplines and capabilities to create custom management solutions and alternatives that determine the desired nature and direction of the operations to directly contribute to business goals.

Operations Planning

Planning focuses on the selection and prioritization of strategic improvement levers to align operations and corporate strategies. Tefen's structured approach develops excellence into the operations planning process and how to execute the plan over time. Excellence in operations planning includes integration of capacity, materials flow, resources, staffing, quality, and performance measures that directly support corporate strategy and goals to maximize value to the customer and shareholders.

Operations Solutions

Solutions develop around strategic levers. Operations solutions formulate the specific requirements and specifications essential to drive operations excellence and to maintain alignment of planning, solutions, and processes. Tefen utilizes in depth operations diagnostics and strategic levers to design innovative operations solutions, based on sound lean and six sigma principles, to deliver the type of results that directly contribute to corporate strategic goals.

Operations Processes

Basic to operations processes is creating value for the customer; both external and internal customers. Operations processes are linked to operations management as one of the seven key contributors to excellence. Operations processes address the "governance" necessary to manage the strategy in the form of tactical execution. Tefen's governance approach structures process flow, clearly defines value added, sets appropriate metrics, tools, and templates in place to control the processes, and defines the skill sets with tactical proficiency to understand how day-to-day activities effect strategic goals and enterprise performance.
