Ahoy and published by Mcgraw-hill. This book was released on 2008-12-17 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economy is witnessing previously unseen levels of competitiveness, forcing business leaders to contend with unprecedented challenges. No longer can companies seize and hold a customer base by operating adequately. In order to enjoy a competitive advantage, an organization must operate at exemplary levels of performance in every facet of business and maintain that degree of excellence indefinitely. This is achieved through careful alignment of operational systems and the use of innovative process management initiatives. “Unless an organization is uniquely qualified to deal with its customers by understanding its own strengths and weakness,” writes internationally renowned operational management expert Christopher K. Ahoy, “it will be unable to understand what is required to move from the current paradigm of doing business.” In Customer-Driven Operations Management, Ahoy distills the most current business theories and practices that will help you weed out and eliminate operational inefficiencies and put in place the necessary metrics for providing products and services better, cheaper, and faster than ever. Ahoy walks you through the steps of creating a world-class organization, which include Mapping your company's processes to target weak points Realigning management systems from functional to process-focused Setting benchmarks throughout the process to help quantify levels of success Establish a system of knowledge management for the seamless alignment of teams and departments Improving process management using Lean, Six Sigma, and other methodologies Create a sound strategic planning initiative to eliminate future surprises With diagrams and figures to highlight salient points, Customer-Driven Operations Management clarifies and simplifies the otherwise daunting task of enacting major changes in your company's operations systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customer Driven Strategy Thomas F. Wallace Strategic Planning, in many companies, consists of annual treks to resorts for two days of planning and one day of golf. These strategy "retreats" often produce impressive, bound plans, which tend to collect dust on the bookshelves of managers throughout the company. The net impact on the business is obviously nil. Despite this annual performance gap, developing a dynamic operating strategy is essential to the survival and success of every enterprise. It's also critical for companies to develop a viable strategy by creating customer-driven plans, focused on consistently delivering value to the customer in every aspect of a company's operation. Customer-Driven Strategy takes you beyond the traditional approaches to planning and strategy implementation. It brings the reality of delivering value to your customers into the essential aspects of your business. It helps you to create, implement, and manage a flexible, dynamic plan that's committed to your customer. Tom Wallace shows how to develop this customer-driven perspective by implementing a holistic, fully integrated strategic approach in the following areas: Initiating a customer-driven planning process Leveraging continuous-improvement initiatives Developing innovative approaches in high performance work teams Creating a learning environment that fosters constant innovation Maximizing the market impact of new products Using planning and control systems to their greatest potential Sustaining new partnerships with suppliers for competitive advantage Developing accurate, effective performance measures Implementing customer-driven strategies for the maximum benefit of the business-and your customers Packed with practical advice and guidelines, Customer-Driven Strategy gives you the proven tools and techniques to realize significant improvements in your company's operations-today. In addition, you can learn how Hewlett Packard, Steelcase, Tellabs, and other companies dramatically improved their performance through customer-focused strategic planning.

This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is a comprehensive reference source designed to help professionals address organizational issues from the application of the basic principles of management to the development of strategies needed to deal with the technological and societal concerns of the new millennium. The content of this fourth edition has been revised to reflect a more current global perspective and to match the updated Body of Knowledge (BoK) of ASQs Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE). In order to provide a broad perspective of quality management, this book has specifically been written to address: Historical perspectives relating to the evolution of particular aspects of quality management, including recognized experts and their contributions Key principles, concepts, and terminology relevant in providing quality leadership, and communicating quality needs and results Benefits associated with the application of key concepts and quality management principles Best practices describing recognized approaches for good quality management Barriers to success, including common problems that the quality manager might experience when designing and implementing quality management, and insights as to why some quality initiatives fail Guidance for preparation to take the CMQ/OE examination. Organized to follow the BoK exactly, throughout each section of this handbook the categorical BoK requirements associated with good quality management practices for that section are shown in a box preceding the pertinent text. These BoK requirements represent the range of content and the cognitive level to which multiple-choice questions can be presented. Although this handbook thoroughly prepares individuals for the ASQ CMQ/OE exam, the real value resides in post-exam usage as a day-to-day reference source for assessing quality applications and methodologies in daily processes. The content is written from the perspective of practitioners, and its relevance extends beyond traditional product quality applications.
