The New Beginning Summary

The New Beginning: A Business Novel on How to Successfully Implement the Combination of The Theory of Constraints, Lean, and Six Sigma to Drive Profit Margins by Bob Sproull (Focus and Leverage Consulting, USA)

* Details the specifics of how to combine the Theory of Constraints, Lean, and Six Sigma in a very simple format.
* Many companies have tried implementing Lean or Six Sigma or a combination of the two, but when the Theory of Constraints is mixed in, the full impact of the improvement effort will be realized.
* By introducing the Theory of Constraints version of accounting, known as Throughput Accounting, companies will be able to see that the secret to maximum profitability is not through how much money you can save, but rather through how much money can be made.
* Many companies use what is known as the Min/Max system to control inventory -- this book introduces the Theory of Constraints version of inventory control, known as the Dynamic Replenishment Solution, which results in a fifty percent reduction of inventory with close to zero stock-outs.
* Clearly demonstrates the power of combining the Theory of Constraints with Lean and Six Sigma in terms of profit enhancement.
* Details a clear step-by-step methodology on how to combine these three initiatives into a single, powerful improvement method.
* Demonstrates that no matter what type of manufacturing company it is, the combined methodology will drive profit to levels not seen before.
* Because this book is based upon actual events by the author, the credibility of it is enhanced. * Demonstrates the concepts of focus and leverage that the reader will grasp early in the book.

The New Beginning Reviews

This book delivers insight into how to rapidly help organizations become much more effective and profitable. Through an engaging story about a year in the life of a consultant, they demonstrate how the synergistic combination of Lean, Six Sigma, & Theory of Constraints (known as the Ultimate Improvement Cycle or UIC) can help quickly drive the performance of organizations from mediocre to record setting levels. As a consultant, I truly appreciate and relate to the realistic scenarios and levels of achievement presented in this book. These results are more than possible with the UIC; they're repeatable and reproducible. Now, more than ever, would be a great time to read this book and learn how to apply it for anyone passionate about improving their organizations...especially consultants, plant managers, organizational leadership, as well as board members of companies and equity groups. It works.

  • Michael Asbury, founder, Elevate Coaching & Consulting

The strongest parts of this book are the intuitive illustrations and explanations of the basic principles of Theory of Constraints that will hold the hand of a newcomer and serve as training material for the professional. This book contains inspirational and hands on examples of how to systematically walk an organization through empowering its employees, forming independent teams of subject matter experts and with only a little injection of new knowledge and perspective setting them loose on the core problems of the organization.

  • Rasmus Hammer, process consultant -- Theory of Constraints, Frederiksberg Forsyning A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark

This book takes the reader from the cost-accounting world of saving money to the throughput world of making money. Utilizing theory of constraints, this book illustrates a methodology enabling cross-functional teams to define and implement their goals.
