Practical Productivity Improvement and Cost Reduction
Inexpensive and quick actions to raise output and / or lower input in your organization, whatever your line of business. Act to raise profits or output, to ease bottlenecks, to refine operations that have lost their sharp focus over time or start effective new ones. My Amazon book, Cost Reduction How to Survive, Recover, and Thrive, offers examples of practical ideas to effect real cost change.

Cost Control in this Economy
Cost control is not just a checklist, but a way of thinking that cost effectiveness is the primary objective. Focus on results, not the process. And please, don’t just look at direct hourly people for improvement. That is probably not where your big costs are. Show me the money. For a deeper analysis, my book called Cost Reduction; Survive, Recover, Thrive offers actions for any phase of the economy, for all levels of the organization chart. It is listed on Amazon, search by the title please. It is available in a Kindle edition as well as paperback.
