Strategic Operations - Competing Through Capabilities

Elevate productivity; innovate with manufacturing prowess.

If you're looking to refine your understanding of operational efficiency, this book serves as an essential guide. What makes it exceptional is its perspective on manufacturing processes as not just a necessity, but a strategic asset. By diving into this text, you'll gain insights into how the likes of TQM (Total Quality Management) and JIT (Just-In-Time) can be harnessed effectively, possibly redefining your organization's competitive edge.

Description

Designed for the second year elective opted by a third of the student body at the Harvard Business School, Hayes, Pisano and Upton break new ground in this text/casebook by emphasizing the manufacturing process itself as a competitive weapon. Today, companies typically adopt one or more of a growing number of improvement programs, such as TQM (Total Quality Management), JIT (Just-in-Time) production, and DFM (Design for Manufacturability). The majority of these improvement efforts, according to recent surveys, have not been successful. By pinning their hopes on a few best-practice approaches, managers implicitly abandon the central concept of a strategy in favor of a generic approach to competitive success. In clear, accessible prose, the authors propose a new explanation for the problems companies face by specifying the kind of competitive advantage each company is seeking in its marketplace and articulates how that advantage is to be achieved.
