Good clean condition in dust jacket. xvi, 276 pages, including Notes, Bibliography, and Index. Speed is a major source of competitive advantage in the rapidly changing business world. Time compression focuses on reducing lead-times across any business process, allowing companies to become more responsive to the needs of their customers. This book equips the practising manager with the tools and techniques needed to use the philosophy of Time Compression. The authors explain how Time Compression can be used to improve strategically important business processes, in particular those related to the supply chain, manufacturing, administration, and product development. They also explain how a time-based approach can speed up the improvement process by integrating the human and process elements of change. With detailed examples from companies that have used Time Compression, such as the Rover Group, Coats Viyella, British Airways, Lucas Industries, Short Brothers, British Steel and Massey Ferguson, the authors contend that Time Compression can be used to gain strategic advantages in virtually all businesses.
