The Ultimate Improvement Cycle: Maximizing Profits through the Integration of Lean, Six Sigma, and the Theory of Constraints
Автор:Bob Sproull Год: 2009 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 250 ISBN: 1420090348 This text uniquely integrates Lean, Six Sigma, and the Theory of Constraints into a combined business strategy aptly named The Ultimate Improvement Cycle (UIC). This business approach is conveyed graphically, demonstrating the cyclic nature of improvement. The book presents basic laws of factory physics that assist readers in understanding why the UIC delivers significant bottom-line improvement and why other improvement initiatives have failed to do so. It also introduces the concept of system constraints and why focusing improvement efforts on any other area is merely wasted effort. The UIC recipe established here maximizes return on investment, cash flow, and net profit.
