[Verse 1]
In the factory flow, where products move along
Find the bottleneck first, it's slowing down your song
Throughput times flow time equals inventory stock
Little's Law will guide you around the clock
[Chorus]
Operations, information, decisions we make
Quality and speed, there's so much at stake
Lean and Six Sigma, optimize the way
Data drives the choices that we make today
[Verse 2]
Toyota showed the world how lean operations win
Pull don't push the system, let the value flow begin
Theory of Constraints says fix the weakest link
Statistical control keeps quality in sync
[Chorus]
Operations, information, decisions we make
Quality and speed, there's so much at stake
Lean and Six Sigma, optimize the way
Data drives the choices that we make today
[Verse 3]
Decision trees branch out, expected value calls
Monte Carlo simulates when uncertainty falls
Linear programming finds the optimal path
Predictive analytics does the future math
[Chorus]
Operations, information, decisions we make
Quality and speed, there's so much at stake
Analytics and models light up the way
Data drives the choices that we make today
[Bridge]
Kahneman taught us minds play tricks on choice
Anchoring and framing change our inner voice
Overconfidence bias leads us astray
Nudges help design a better way
[Verse 4]
Innovation S-curves show technology's climb
Disruptive forces change the game in time
Design thinking solves problems human-centered
Open innovation keeps ideas well-centered
[Chorus]
Operations, information, decisions we make
Quality and speed, there's so much at stake
Innovation thinking shows us the way
Smart operations win the day
[Outro]
From supply chain design to the newsvendor's call
OIDD knowledge connects it all
Capacity planning meets demand so true
Operations excellence will see you through
