Abstract
If you want to learn more about productivity—and who doesn’t? —then this book is for you. If you want to achieve greater productivity, it will guide you through the essential steps to get you there. Along the way, it will help you understand how to set up and manage the full range of efficiency, organizational and financial initiatives that make up the ideal bespoke productivity system—and then how to extract the best returns. Whatever the size and scale of your business, finding new ways to improve productivity is a constant. For example:
-
You may be in charge of one or more sites that are large enough to matter, but too small to warrant a lengthy improvement process with a large team of experts.
-
You may have discovered that Lean, Six Sigma and other improvement techniques are fine in the factory environment, but provide only some of the components needed for a successful, first-rate productivity system.
-
You may have read or heard plenty of theory on Lean manufacturing, but not seen the tools put to use.
