The search for speed has become the latest initiative in the pursuit of competitive advantage. This book equips the practising manager with the tools and techniques needed to utilise the philosophy of Time Compression. The authors explain how Time Compression can accelerate strategic change. They apply the principles of Time Compression to production and manufacturing systems as well as the human aspects of a business to gain competitive advantage. With detailed examples from companies that have used Time Compression, such as the Rover Group, Coats Viyella, British Airways, Lucas Industries, Short Brothers, British Steel and Massey Ferguson, the authors contend that Time Compression can be used to gain strategic advantages in virtually all businesses.
