This book outlines techniques for simplifying and shortening cycle time - the time it takes to get things done. This approach to productivity is already being used by some of the most successful companies in the country, including Federal Express, Benetton and Motorola. This book shows managers how to shorten the time it takes to accomplish a wide range of tasks in virtually any business. Each chapter presents an initial cycle time dilemma, then identifies ways to analyze product or service cycle times, evaluate barriers to implementation, and successfully remove these barriers. Realistic strategies for solving the human resources problems most frequently associated with reducing cycle time are also included. The text includes case histories.
