    Operations involve all the activities you need to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. It’s just like planning a birthday party. From securing the date, inviting guests and getting supplies like decorations and snacks, to setting up the venue, organizing fun games and everyone’s favorite – the eventual clean up. Good operations rely on planning, organizing, and ensuring that everything works together seamlessly to create quality high-voltage products in a safe manner. To tell you more about it, we invited Dirk Uhde, Head of HSE and Operations at Hitachi Energy. In this episode, he walks us through the operations process and the strategies implemented that make it more sustainable. --- Dirk Uhde is the Head of HSE and Operations of the High Voltage Products business unit at Hitachi Energy.
