"While one does not often see the phrase "Page Turner" associated with Business Books, I can assure you that term applies to Think Inside the Box by Tim Nelson and Jim McGee. Their approach is direct and insightful, the writing clear and thought provoking, filled with page after page of "Ah Ha" moments. I was literally running out of space in the margins as I made note after note to follow up on one recommendation after another. Buy this book and follow their map - I am certain your organization will benefit,” comments Robert Kocis, a managing member at Three Pines Capital, LLC. “At the heart of this wonderful book is a methodology to unlock the full potential that exists inside your business today! As we know, hard work is important. More critically however, hard work with a focus on the right things is essential to long term success. I have found with my own businesses that often people are mired in day to day paradigms clouding judgment, introducing complexity and ultimately limiting performance. It is a leader’s responsibility to drive clarity, to ensure focus on the most important opportunities and create the organizational courage and capacity to weed out the rest. Think Inside the Box represents an incredible tool and methodology for leaders to significantly unleash the power of clarity and simplicity in their business, creating opportunities to significantly streamline and improve their operations. All the leader needs to do is engage Think Inside the Box,” notes Claude Demby, CEO of the Noel Group. Think Inside the Box takes you from insight through execution. The first part of the book shows you how to identify your most profitable products and customers, relying on the well-established 80/20 rule. It walks you through how to map your business into four boxes: the Core, Supporting Products, Benefactor Customers, and the Residual, and then how to take the resulting Quad Map and unearth the treasures locked inside each box. It demonstrates how, when, and where to apply over twenty distinct improvement tools and techniques, including: § Product Line Simplification § Visual Production § Kanban Inventory Management § Dedicated Equipment § One-at- § Value Stream Analysis Think Inside the Box is the perfect guide to new, lean business operations.
