I had a recent first round and had two very specific operations Cases, both having to calculate OEE. I've practiced every other case type and even though I passed this round, these through me for a loop as structuring and ideas were on the micro level very different then many of the other cases I've done.
Anyone have any resources for practicing these specific case types?
Hi,
There are several types of operational cases that you may have:
1) Operational math problems. (e.g. Should we increase the speed of the elevator or just buy a second one? How should we reduce the queues? How should we increase the output of a factory?).
Structuring:
The key concepts that you have to learn:
2) Cost cutting cases

Feel free to reach me for further help with these cases.

Hi! Here an OPS Associate at Mckinsey
I had 3 + 3 interviews and only one was really about operations.
It was about calculating the OEE of a manufacturing plant. However, there is no need to have specific knowledge since you will receive the instructions in case you dont know how to calculate it.
YES! Ping me a DM for some real case examples. Warm regards, Frederic
It's not very different from hiring for a regular general track McKinsey hire. You'll have cases and the areas can vary widely - sure, you might get an odd ops case, but if you do really well in them, they'll quickly challenge you with non-ops cases.
Can you please clarify what OEE is? Acronyms can mean different things to different people. Thanks.
