Course Description

Modern operations teams keep businesses moving but are often buried in manual paperwork, messy data, and constant firefighting. This three-day, hands-on programme is designed for professionals to cut through the chaos by applying GenAI where it actually counts – from automating the documentation lifecycle to mastering predictive demand forecasting. It focuses on practical wins that reclaim productivity hours and improve daily execution.

Participants will dive into advanced diagnostics, utilizing AI-driven frameworks to identify operational waste (Muda) and perform root cause analysis on logistical bottlenecks. The curriculum bridges the gap between fragmented legacy data and real-time awareness, allowing for sharper insights into supplier risks and inventory spikes. This shift from reactive to proactive management ensures smoother operations and leaner workflows.

Beyond technical skills, the programme prioritizes future-proofing through a clear understanding of Singapore’s PDPA and ethical AI governance. Attendees will develop a structured 90-Day Transformation Roadmap to institutionalize AI workflows, moving from “low-hanging fruit” automation to fully operational, predictive systems. Ultimately, this course empowers operations leaders to work with the speed, clarity, and confidence required for a future-ready business.
