Optimizing Operations in Haiku

A longtime friend and associate of mine by the name of Jeremy Showalter is currently attending the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and blogging as the GSB Mennonite. Last week he shared this gem and I thought I'd pass it along:

Operations Haiku

max out revenue
within production constraints
and supply demand

While I don't normally think of market forces in terms of Japanese poetry, I think he successfully captured the factors that all companies (mISV's included) have to consider in their planning and execution of their products.

Thanks for the blurb. :)

Thanks for the blurb. :)

By the way, revenue is a bit misleading; earnings would be more appropriate if trying to apply universally. Revenue was simply the objective function we were working on. :)
