Implementing Business Improvement Techniques

Implementing Business Improvement Techniques is based on Chris McKellen's considerable experience of applying business improvement techniques in the manufacturing sector, including the philosophies of  'lean thinking', the 'theory of constraints' and 'six-sigma'.   This book is the 'how to' book and is aimed at all levels within the organisation. The book is equally suitable for managing directors and their teams, through to those studying for the NVQ or QCF in Business Improvement Techniques - Process Pathway Level 2.

As well as a comprehensive Glossary of Terms the book contains several real examples illustrating the application of business improvement techniques.
