Casebooks for manufacturing, especially OEE

Hi there,

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• Unfortunately, there are not any specific case books on OEE as it is a niche topic within the manufacturing industry. However, for general operations case studies, scanning through casebooks for operations case studies can be helpful.
• It is important to also consider studying non-operations case studies as well, as interviews are rarely exclusively focused on one specific topic. Additionally, specific positions may require different skill sets, so make sure to consider that in your preparation as well.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hi there,

There aren't any specific case books on the matter and for a good reason. Interviews are rarely exclusively focused on niche topics, such as OEE.

When I prepared for my McKinsey Operations interviews, I screened the typical MBA case books for various ops related cases but also covered all the remaining ground. And sure enough, I only had one ops case and the rest was all over the place. Good thing I was prepared for everything!

Would advise you to do the same, unless you get an unambiguous steer from HR to focus on niche topics.

Best of luck,

I don't think strategy consulting firms use those cases. 

Not saying those materials don't exist, but this place is probably not going to be very helpful in finding that kind of material.

Sorry, what does OEE stand for? I know OE (operational efficiency), but what is the extra E for?
