Operational transformation
Operations consulting that turns strategy into day-to-day management.
JPL OPS connects processes, resources, indicators and information in an operating model that teams can implement, control and improve.

An operations consultancy analyses how an organisation actually works and defines how it needs to operate in order to meet its objectives.
JPL OPS starts with the current situation to organise processes, resources and rules. We then translate business objectives into indicators and determine which information each process needs to manage them.
- AS-IS and TO-BE processes
- Standard times, layout and work cells
- Planning, stock and operating rules
How is a measurable operating model built?
It is built by joining the way people work, the KPIs that guide that work and the data sources that feed those KPIs.
Technology is an enabler. The company first defines how it should operate, then what to measure and how to turn information into decisions and priorities for each process.
- Productivity, costs, service, inventory and efficiency
- ERP, WMS, TMS, time tracking and Data Warehouse
- Data quality, automation and traceability
How does improvement become part of daily operations?
Improvement is implemented with the teams, monitored through indicators and adjusted whenever deviations arise.
The JPL OPS method has five steps: audit, define, select the tools, implement and optimise. The aim is to embed a new way of working and sustain improvement over time.
- Observation of processes, organisation and data
- Implementation and change management
- Monitoring, correction of deviations and continuous improvement
