Anhand von Beispielen aus 13 Organisationen - darunter Hewlett Packard, Eastman Chemical, Ritz Carlton und die U.S. Navy - demonstriert der Autor, wie diese Firmen ihr Ergebnis verbessert und nach einer drastischen Wende nachhaltige Rentabilität erreicht haben. Der Grund für diesen Erfolg liegt darin, daß sich die Unternehmen auf das Operations Management konzentriert haben sowie auf Planung und Durchführung von Veränderungen. Hier lernen Sie, mit welchen Verfahren und Techniken Sie Betriebsprozesse harmonisieren und integrieren können.
