Operations Management Tools
Overview
Tandem provides a wide variety of tools that help your staff perform operations tasks.
These tools allow you to perform the following operations functions:
•
Production management
•
Problem management
•
Change and configuration management
•
Performance management
•
Security management
•
Contingency planning
•
Application management
•
Automating and centralizing operations
This section provides information to help you determine which of the operations
management tools would best help you perform your operations management tasks.
Because of the number of Tandem tools available for operations management, and
because some of the tools are cross-functional—that is, they can be used for multiple
operations management tasks—these tools are listed alphabetically in this section.
Table 14-1 lists the tools described in this section and the operations tasks for which
they are appropriate.
