Wall Street Diet: Making Your Business Lean and Healthy

Description: By chasing quick and easy solutions without making necessary lifestyle or organizational changes, both dieters and business managers fail to reap the full benefits of their efforts. ""The Wall Street Diet"" is a handbook for changing the way a business operates to attain lasting results. Using the proven model of total enterprise optimization (TEO) as a framework, the book introduces a dietary roadmap that combines lean techniques with advanced supply chain management, improved quality concepts, selective outsourcing, and a focus on both the top and bottom lines. The authors detail specific TEO efforts that add savings, create new values, and improve the gathering, analysis, and sharing of consumption and customer data. Fundamentally, ""The Wall Street Diet"" is about changing the culture that drives the business, leading to better earnings, continued growth, and the greatest value for all stakeholders.
