This book will show how to rapidly and exponentially increase a company's value by aligning operations strategy with the business model. Increasing a business's value and potential sale price is important for business transitions as well as for ongoing business operations to accelerate revenue growth, increase profits and cash flow, and to allow the company to increase capacity and grow without capital expense. Many companies focus too much on implementing tactics such as Lean without a strategic framework, which renders their efforts fruitless. By instead taking a holistic operations-based view of strategy and tactics, executives can exponentially improve their company's value. This book is based on the analogy of the express or high-occupancy vehicle lanes on a freeway, where vehicles move much faster than the other lanes where traffic is moving slowly or not at all. The concepts and concrete resources in Moving into the Express Lane are useful to manufacturing, distribution, and retail organizations, as well as any company that has an operations component and suppliers. Executives, managers, professionals, and practitioners at all levels--as well as consultants--will use it as a desktop reference.
