Implement demand driven smart metrics to drive and sustain dramatic gains in flow and improve ROI performance
What if the objective of minimizing unit product cost that is hard coded into all reporting and measurement systems is simply "bad math" that drives decisions and actions that destroy ROI?
In today's volatile, globally competitive environment, new decision-making tools are required to monitor, measure, and improve total organizational performance. Adherence to "old" operational rules, tools, and behaviors is killing competitiveness in most enterprises. A fundamental shift is required. Cowritten by internationally recognized experts in the field, Demand Driven Performance explains why current measurement forms must be replaced. The authors present a demand driven blueprint and the smart metrics to maximize flow and ROI.
"The methods described in this book worked in one of the most complex manufacturing operations that you can imagine with very effective results." -- From the Foreword by Dan Eckermann, former President and CEO, LeTourneau Technologies, Inc.

There are many amazingly good things in this book. The chapter about Boeing is wonderful. All of you should read it. So are Chapters 10 and 11, which apply complexity science to supply chains. And then there are all the others!
As supply chains get longer, more diversified, multi-country, more time-sensitive, and more complex, focusing on the "average" becomes less functional, if not misleading and meaningless. Why? Most stages of a company's supply chain may be maxing out on efficiency--they don't need attention.
Most managers focus on these efficiencies and gloat over how well most of their logistic path is working. Wrong! What Nassim Taleb calls The Black Swan could be lurking. What is this? There could be one or more stages already highly inefficient for various reasons, or are about to go haywire. This is why Debra and Chad focus on "Pareto Management" in their book.
For some amount of energy, time, and money spent on improving the performance of a supply chain, the best results come from identifying the points in a supply chain that are the least efficient--kill off the Black Swans. Focus on finding the worst performing stage in your supply chain first. Then focus on the second worst, and so on.
How good is your company at finding the places in a supply chain where a "perfect storm" of seemingly random events have combined to create a terrible inefficiency--or are about to stop the flow of your supply chain?
Debra and Chad have written their book to tell you how to the perfect storms of supply-chain management. Given the complexity and uncertainties of modern supply chains, learning about Pareto Management from their book is essential to efficient management and survival in our increasingly competitive worldwide business sectors.
Forget what you know... Just open your mind... And see for yourself this is really it! The knowledge you need.
Do you want to understand how to get it right in any sales / delivery operation? then get this book. I can say unquestionably the authors of this book are two of the smartest people you will encounter on the subject of maximizing sales and operational throughput. "Cash Velocity" or Inventory Turns or ROI. Do you want to make the most money possible? Read this book.
Why are you here? You are on Amazon because you know you can select an item, you place an order, you know you will receive your item, on time, at the best price. and it will be as advertised. If any of those elements are missing you will not order again. How many operations suffer from missing one of these elements. It's Amazon being dependable what makes you come back. If you are involved in a manufacturing organization and must support sales through delivery you understand how critical it is to perform. What is masked too often is how to make gains that improve the bottom line and support top line growth. The strategies here make it pretty clear. This is the culmination of years of research, solutions tested, solutions realized and select companies are reaping the reward for applying this smarter approach. I can't say enough how relevant this book is to any organization wanting to get it right. Have you read Goldratt's Books on Theory of Constraints? This is the applied science of all that work. It is the bomb diggity as my kids would say. I am the manager of continuous improvement at a factory in Colorado. I've been exposed to manufacturing for over 50 years. whoopdedoo! lol my dad started a manufacturing business still operating today. I've worked directly in manufacturing for 35 years. not that shabby lol.
