Operations are an organizational function performing the on-going execution of activities that produce the same product or provide a repetitive service. Examples include: production operations, manufacturing operations, and accounting operations. Though temporary in nature, projects can help achieve the organizational goals when they are aligned with the organization's strategy. Organizations sometimes change their operations, products, or systems by creating strategic business initiatives. Projects require project management while operations require business process management or operations management. Projects can intersect with operations at various points during the product life cycle, such as:
1. At each closeout phase;
2. When developing a new product, upgrading a product, or expanding outputs;
3. Improvement of operations or the product development process; or
4. Until the divestment of the operations at the end of the product life cycle.
At each point, deliverable and knowledge are transferred between the project and operations for implementation of the delivered work. This occurs through a transfer of project resources to operations toward the end of the project, or through a transfer of operational resources to the project at the start.
Operations are permanent endeavors that produce repetitive outputs, with resources assigned to do basically the same set of tasks according to the standards institutionalized in a product life cycle. Unlike the on-going nature of operations, projects are temporary endeavors.

My advice is to be very wary of CADD Centre.
I will disable this thread.

Dear Vijay,
I thoroughly agree with you, without site experience we cannot plan. I am having 14yrs site experience + 5yrs in planning. I have never been for P3 & P6 training, i learnt on my own & through Planning Planet.
Cadd Centre is basically a Auto Cad training institute.

Dear richu ,
i saw your post , we will get basic knowlede from cadd centre like how to use . but we actually need site experience first . then if we work under an expert planner we will get more knowledge . i to studied primavera 6 from caddcentre , but just basic knowledge first we want to study site first . then it is easy to work in primavera by experience .
My friends have done training at CADD Centre & they are disappointed with CAdd Centre's training. Most of the trainers hired by Cadd Centre are students from its previous batch who have no prior experience in project management or planning.
