READ WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
"Many books describe Lean, Six-Sigma, SCOR and other methodologies, but few if any really help the reader understand the full orchestration of quality management techniques. Through their lucid description of an "operating system" for business management, with detailed walk-throughs from their example company, Husby and Swartwood have done an excellent job laying out the foundations of an integrated approach to high-performance business organizations in a way which is both accessible and practical."
-Joe Francis, Executive Director, Supply Chain Council

"This book enables you to quickly gain a broad understanding of key supply chain improvement tools or to do a deep dive into a very detailed and realistic case study."
-Jim Stake, Executive V.P., 3M Display and Graphics Markets
