Create New Profits in Any Economy
In this difficult economic climate, it's vital to cut waste that can eat at a company's bottom line and boost efficiency at every organizational level. The traditional business solution in a crisis is to slash away non-critical talent and resources, often doing more harm than good. There is a far better systematic approach to doing more with less.
As a leading expert on Lean Six Sigma and business transformation, with a deep knowledge of its application in countless areas of business, author Mark George can help you use Lean Six Sigma to analyze your operational needs, identify high-impact opportunities, design and rapidly implement solutions, and create a system that will build efficiency and high performance in every area of your business. The Lean Six Sigma Guide to Doing More with Less can help you:
- Improve operating margins by as much as 20%, ROIC by as much as 10%, and reduce the costs of goods sold by as much as 5% or more
- Create "cost intelligence" that uncovers root causes allowing cost reductions without jeopardizing customer service levels and quality
- Use enterprise speed, agility, and flexibility to drive step-change reductions in cost and enable competitive advantage
- Identify and eliminate the costs of complexity in your business
