A typical day

On a plant floor by 7 with a stopwatch and a tablet, timing a production line and asking operators where the bottlenecks are. Mid-morning, into a spreadsheet or simulation model to test a new layout. Lunch with the maintenance team. Afternoon meetings on next quarter's production schedule and a cost-saving proposal for the plant manager. In logistics, swap the plant floor for a warehouse. In healthcare, for a hospital ward.
