Operations experience sections lean on the field's most overused bullets: “improved processes,” “increased efficiency,” “oversaw daily operations.” An operations director reading them can't tell a warehouse from a plant from a BizOps desk — three jobs with almost nothing in common.
A strong ops bullet names the sector and scale, the methodology — Lean, Six Sigma, S&OP — and the efficiency number the change produced. The 6 rewrites below run from the floor to the director level: steal the structure, then score your own.
“120-FTE fulfillment center shipping 18K orders a day” is instantly legible. “Managed operations” could mean anything to anyone.
Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, S&OP, WMS — recruiters search these verbatim. Pair the method with the number it produced.
“Picking errors down 38%,” “on-time delivery up 11 points”: the improvement is the bullet. The duty underneath it is assumed.
Name the node — warehouse, plant, fleet — and the efficiency number your change produced.
