A new book, Speed to Market: How to Cut Lead Time and Increase Profits in Job Shops and Custom Manufacturing Environments can be previewed at Speed to Market (http://members.aol.com/ddilink) Praise from readers: Speed to Market is one of those books that is dumbfounding in its practicality. It makes you wonder why more how-to books aren't written this way. Kathleen Molloy, Review, Designer's Forum, the Association for the Management of Organization Design I like it. It's to-the-point, plain English, and dead on. Don Williams, Manufacturing Manager, Kennetex, Inc. There's a lot in here...picks up where The Goal left off. Richard B. Hardy, Chairman & CEO, Hyde Manufacturing Co. Clear step-by-step approach that will help a lot of suppliers improve performance and profits. Donald F. Utter, Senior Consultant, Lucent Technologies A gold mine of profit opportunities. Must reading for any owner who wants to increase the marketability and selling price of his or her business. Frank Covich, President, National Association of Independent Business Brokers Addresses an often ignored frontier for improvement-the paperwork and information flows involved in preparing quotations. The questionnaire used for shop assessment is a valuable tool. Use of actual client experiences is a highlight of the book. Professor S. A. Irani, Department of Industrial, Welding and Systems Engineering, Ohio State University
