This book delivers insight into how to rapidly help organizations become much more effective and profitable. Through an engaging story about a year in the life of a consultant, they demonstrate how the synergistic combination of Lean, Six Sigma, & Theory of Constraints (known as the Ultimate Improvement Cycle or UIC) can help quickly drive the performance of organizations from mediocre to record setting levels. As a consultant, I truly appreciate and relate to the realistic scenarios and levels of achievement presented in this book. These results are more than possible with the UIC; they’re repeatable and reproducible. Now, more than ever, would be a great time to read this book and learn how to apply it for anyone passionate about improving their organizations…especially consultants, plant managers, organizational leadership, as well as board members of companies and equity groups. It works.Michael Asbury, founder, Elevate Coaching & Consulting The strongest parts of this book are the intuitive illustrations and explanations of the basic principles of Theory of Constraints that will hold the hand of a newcomer and serve as training material for the professional. This book contains inspirational and hands on examples of how to systematically walk an organization through empowering its employees, forming independent teams of subject matter experts and with only a little injection of new knowledge and perspective setting them loose on the core problems of the organization.Rasmus Hammer, process consultant -- Theory of Constraints, Frederiksberg Forsyning A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark This book takes the reader from the cost-accounting world of saving money to the throughput world of making money. Utilizing theory of constraints, this book illustrates a methodology enabling cross-functional teams to define and implement their goals. Steve Schmidt, founder and owner, ISWW Solutions, LLC
