Time, the business fourth dimension, drives quality, costs and throughput. Today, businesses must compete by being nimble, flexible and responsive. They must see time as a competitive weapon. Time trumps traditional views on people and capacity utilization. Shortening lead times not only wins customers, but improving processes to achieve speed, impacts business metrics magically. Quantum Profits moves beyond theory to reality. Every company can benefit from studying real life experiences. The Author is well- grounded in business theory and Lean Six Sigma but strives to bring theory to life.
