Download or read book Profitability with No Boundaries written by Reza M. (Russ) Pirasteh and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2010-05-05 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors Pirasteh and Fox know what causes various improvement approaches to fail, and in response provide a new model that combines theory of constraints (TOC), lean, and Six Sigma into a unique program called TLS. This scientifically proven methodology improves results dramatically. The book is divided into two parts. The first is geared to senior decision makers—those who decide “if” their company should adopt a TLS approach. The second deals with the details of “how” and is directed at those responsible for implementing TLS. Readers who would like more depth on any section of Part I can go directly to the matching chapter in Part II. If your intention is to learn how to systematically improve quality, process reliability, and throughput while creating a wasteless enterprise, then this book is for you!

Download or read book Learning from the Past Present and Future to Drive Profits to New Levels written by Bob Sproull and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content of this book is centered around three seemingly diverse themes. The first theme is why it’s so important for companies to learn from the past, the present, and the future. The author covers some of the key learnings from the distant and current past, and how these learnings changed the course for many companies. He discusses new learnings that have been developed in our current state and will continue to be brought forward. He provides a look into the future, just to make sure companies understand that they should always be looking for better ways to function. The second theme is centered around problem-solving, problem prevention, and decision-making. That is, how to successfully define problems that already exist in your current reality, how to prevent problems from occurring in the future, and how to make much more effective decisions. Problems have plagued many companies for many years and knowing how to follow a structured approach to solve them should prove to be very useful. And perhaps even more important than solving problems, is how companies can go about preventing the problems from occurring in the first place. Think about how your company might look if the plethora of problems to solve didn’t exist. And with current or potential problems, many decisions must be made. The final theme in this book is how to successfully implement the Theory of Constraints, and then combine Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and the Theory of Constraints. The Theory of Constraints should be considered the "missing link" in most improvement initiatives. The author presents, in detail, why combining the Theory of Constraints with Lean and Six Sigma and all of the associated improvement tools and techniques will take your company to new levels of profitability. He introduces two new roadmaps. One roadmap is on how to implement the Theory of Constraints, while the other new roadmap is how to implement my Ultimate Improvement Cycle.

Download or read book Declining Profitability and the Evolution of the US Economy written by Ascension Mejorado and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970s were a pivotal decade for the US economy: deindustrialization broke the power of the labor unions and made possible the redistribution of income in favor of corporate profits; globalization and offshore investments opened alternatives to domestic nonfinancial capital accumulation; domestic productivity growth declined; and labor-saving technology empowered superstar corporations to rapidly gain market share. This book argues that the persistent fall in profitability, leading to the stagflation crisis, was a direct result of the transition from the Fordist phase of capital accumulation, based on large-scale manufacturing, to the neoliberal phase and the rising power of finance. Neoliberalism restored the power of rentiers but not the profit rates of nonfinancial corporations. Falling accumulation rates weakened the growth capacity of nonfinancial corporate firms and secular stagnation became the norm. Neo-Keynesian economists, Larry Summers and Paul Krugman, explained the persistence of secular stagnation with arguments borrowed from Alvin Hansen in the 1930s, such as the declining birth rate or the falling relative prices of investment goods, hence a shortfall of demand. In the Classical paradigm, profitability drives capital accumulation and falling profitability slows down growth. As the accumulation rate declined and the capacity growth diminished, breakdowns in supply links, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, prevented large infusions of purchasing power to find matching levels of supply, hence the stagflation crisis returned. The book will be a great asset to researchers and scholars interested in the development of Classical Political Economy concerning issues related to inflation, stagnation, growing inequality, and the next phase of neoliberalism.
