Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As much as 90 percent of the operational activities in a traditional plant is often nonessential or pure waste. Cycle Time Management provides an exact time-based methodology for eliminating most—if not all—of this waste within 24 to 30 months. It details the use of a cohesive management strategy that integrates just in-time (JIT) production, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), and total quality control (TQC). Written by the developers of Cycle Time Management (CTM), this text explains how to measure productivity in terms of time, instead of revenue or people. It offers a fully detailed process for CTM implementation augmented by case studies, and illustrations.

Book excerpt: Master the fundamentals, hone your business instincts, and save a fortune in tuition. The consensus is clear: MBA programs are a waste of time and money. Even the elite schools offer outdated assembly-line educations about profit-and-loss statements and PowerPoint presentations. After two years poring over sanitized case studies, students are shuffled off into middle management to find out how business really works. Josh Kaufman has made a business out of distilling the core principles of business and delivering them quickly and concisely to people at all stages of their careers. His blog has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the best business books and most powerful business concepts of all time. In The Personal MBA, he shares the essentials of sales, marketing, negotiation, strategy, and much more. True leaders aren't made by business schools-they make themselves, seeking out the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to succeed. Read this book and in one week you will learn the principles it takes most people a lifetime to master.

Book excerpt: Lean Process Creation teaches the specific frames—the 6CON model—to look through to properly design any new process while optimizing the value-creating resources. The framing is applicable to create any process that involves people, technology, or equipment—whether the application is in manufacturing, healthcare, services, retail, or other industries. If you have a process, this approach will help. The result is 30% to 50% improvement in first-time quality, customer lead time, capital efficiency, labor productivity, and floorspace that could add up to millions of dollars saved per year. More important, it will increase both employee and customer satisfaction. The book details a case study from a manufacturing standpoint, starting with a tangible example to reinforce the 6CON model. This is the first book written from this viewpoint—connecting a realistic transformation with the detailed technical challenges, as well as the engagement of the stakeholders, each with their own bias. Key points and must-do actions are sprinkled throughout the case study to reinforce learning from the specific to the general. In this study, an empowered working team is charged with developing a new production line for a critical new product. As the story unfolds, they create an improved process that saves $5.6 million (10x payback on upfront resource investment) over the short life cycle of the product, as well as other measurable benefits in quality, ergonomics, and delivery. To an even greater benefit, they establish a new way of working that can be applied to all future process creation activities. Some organizations have tried their version of Lean process design following a formula or cookie-cutter approach. But true Lean process design goes well beyond forcing concepts and slogans into every situation. It is purposeful, scientific, and adaptable because every situation starts with a unique current state. In addition, Lean process design must include both the technical and social aspects, as they are essential to sustaining and improving any system. Observing the recurring problem of reworking processes that were newly launched brought the authors to the conclusion that a practical book focused on introducing the critical frames of Lean process creation was needed. This book enables readers to consider the details within each frame that must be addressed to create a Lean process. No slogans, no absolutes. Real thinking is required. This type of thinking is best learned from an example, so the authors provide this case study to demonstrate the thinking that should be applied to any process. High volume or low, simple or complex mix, manufacturing or service/transactional—the framing and thinking works. Along with the thinking, readers are enabled to derive their own future states. This is demonstrated in the story that surrounds the case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every of us should remeber that it is what we do during 24 hours or 86,400 seconds of each day that will ultimately determine how successful one is in his career. Time is money. It is limited and valuable resource. Time is life as measured out in years, months, days, hours minutes and seconds. Nothing is more important to human being than using this free gift of time effectively, generously and wisely. Obviously, no one can control time in the sense of shaping it, slowing it down or speeding it up. But he can apply it economically to the tasks he has to accomplish. Time is thus scarcest resource and unless time is managed nothing can be managed. Time management should be taken as a fun. It should not be a complicated daily chor. It should be kept as simple as possible. It should be Kept as simple as possible. If life is plaanned, time is planned automatically. Good time planning facilitates quality life. Hence time management should be treated as life management. There is no need to plan the life because time management is life management. In a nutshell, everybody should have a time plan. For the purpose, one should first identify his different roles. Each role should first identify his different roles. Each role should be allocated some time. This plan ideally may be for a week. Week should be planned in advance and reviewed one day earlier. Such a time management plan should be simple, easy, underestabable and feasible to follow. Although the study forces around the HRD Mangers, the concept and philosophy is one and same for every successful person.
