Benefits of Combining Operations and Network Planning

Combining operations and network planning allows for a tighter feedback loop between the two departments. This alignment helps drive forward the organization as a whole and ensures that network planning and operations are aligned. The new structure allows for a more efficient decision-making process by eliminating debates or conflicts between commercial and operational sides. An example of this is the spares program, where decisions can be made quickly without lengthy discussions or disagreements. Overall, the collaboration between operations and network planning has led to improved performance and a more disciplined organization.
