How this list was compiled

A list of 97 operations team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in four groups. Every name is built on a word of the department that keeps a business running: a process, a workflow, a work order, a fleet, a shift or a control room. None was taken from a company, a software product or a certificate, and any match with a real team is a coincidence. The words were looked up on 2026-10-02 in Wikipedia's Operations management, Bottleneck (production), Standard operating procedure, Workflow, Facility management, Fleet management, Control room, Shift work and Service-level agreement articles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_management leads to the rest), text under CC BY-SA 4.0. Compared by script the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
