The summary
Three sentences: your years and what you run (fulfilment, process, a region), the one number that shows you run it tight, and the team or scale you handle. Operations is measured in cost, time and reliability — lead with one.
- Say what you operate — fulfilment, supply chain, a city network — so the reader places you fast.
- Put a cost, delivery or accuracy number in the summary; operations is judged on exactly those.
- Name the scale: cities, warehouses, team size, daily orders. Scale is the context for the numbers.
- Skip "result-oriented"; "cut cost per order 28%" is the result, stated.
