If you want to gain a clear understanding of concepts such as In-depth analysis and evidence of the role of IT

Comprehensive, Enlightening
As more businesses move to 24/7 operations, round-the-clock scheduling will become an hotter issue. This is not new. Some companies, some industries, have been operating with a 24-hour schedule since the 19th century. Now the issue carries greater importance since workers are increasingly concerned about work-life balance, career development, and alternative work schedules. The author of this book, Richard Coleman, is a consultant with over two decades of experience helping a wide range of employers develop the Best Cost schedule that balances business needs like productivity and profit with health and safety requirements and employee desires. All these factors must be taken into consideration, and there is an almost infinite number of designs that can be applied. Coleman's experience comes out early in the book. I was fascinated by all the factors involved in determining the right schedule. My learning was enhanced by example after example from the author's work that illuminated the reading. During the first few chapters, I felt like I was reading a continuous commercial for Coleman's consulting firm, but this barrage eased as the book moved into the latter chapters. While I am not by any means an expert in scheduling, I learned a lot from this book. OK, I didn't know anything about scheduling before I read this book. However, I now have a healthy respect and understanding for what goes into developing a work schedule for a round-the-clock operation. Human resource professionals, plant managers, and others with operational knowledge of staffing and scheduling will gain considerably more than I did because of their familiarity with the topic. Coleman covers all aspects of shift work schedules, even including Circadian rhythms. It's all here. Readers will learn how to better use time and human resources to maximize return on capital investment and equipment. They'll learn how to achieve greater results without overstaffing, certainly a serious issue in today's labor-scarce world. If your interest is in squeezing more productivity from every hour of the day-without squeezing employees, this book is for you. Ignore the 1995 copyright. The principles taught in this volume are high relevant, quite timely for what's happening in the early 21st century. ... Read more

Solid but not much new.
In Manufacturing on the Move, Crandall deftly answers why manufacturing moved from the U.S. Rust Belt from 1967 to 1989.In particular, novelty marks the thoughtful manner in which he weaves the tale.The story is aseries of topics, each of which addresses the main subject and whichemerges directly in response to questions raised by investigations into thetopic it succeeds.Hence, the connections between research topics areunusuallystrong.For example, the issue of manufacturing relocation iscouched as part of the answer to a question regarding regional incomedivergence in the U.S. (He goes on to explain that regional incomesincreased more in the Rust Belt than elsewhere, despite larger drops inmanufacturing's share of employment, because labor-force unionization ratesfell more slowly there.)

Basic, but with sound approach
This is a relatively basic book on using key performance metrics.The foundation of the approach is TQM, with a nice focus on how to use associated techniques to gather, analyze and manage the metrics.Some of the material is wrapped in "Quantum Performance" and its associated measurement matrix.The terminology and approach embodied in these are, at the basic level, a refactoring and tailoring of existing tools and techniques. For corporate controllers on a mission ...
Just because this book was written to justify Arthur Anderson's best practices business doesn't mean it's not useful!Mike Hronec does a good job of making a case for developing appropriate performance measurementsand sketches an outline for a robust process to get you there.Actuallyputting the plan into action is another story.Nonetheless, corporatecontrollers should read this book, if only to promote thinking about howeffective their organizations' performance measures are in improvingperformance.Adam Lefton (adamleft@webspan.net)

Quality gibberish, but very insightful despite itself.
I think this book has the potential to be a New York Times #1 Bestseller if it would only change the subject matter completely. ... Read more
