What gives ICR real muscle is proven successes, the authors don't leave you with theory... a very different book.
Book Description
INTEGRATED COST REDUCTION is a vital resource for CEOs, executives and other business practitioners who know that continuous cost reduction is at the center of any successful enterprise. Written in an accessible style with non-technical explanations of what cost is and how to use this innovative process that has been PROVEN at Fortune 100 companies to reduce costs by an average of 10-25%.
An enterprise-wide process, INTEGRATED COST REDUCTION (ICR) has already produced remarkable results in over 300 engagements for products from $25 connectors to $1M aircraft engines.
CEOs and senior executives will learn how to generate the cost reductions required to meet margin objectives, without the public-relations or business continuity risks of outsourcing, e-Auctions or off-shoring. Supply chain professionals will be introduced to a proven process that builds on work already done in most companies, but that is rarely managed by one strategic concept.
Integrating the 5 core tools of ICR; Lean Manufacturing; Design-to-Cost; Six Sigma; Supply Chain Management; and eProcurement, INTEGRATED COST REDUCTION delivers cost reductions that exceed any single approach. With an appendix that includes actual success-studies taken from over 300 INTEGRATED COST REDUCTION implementations, readers get a bird's eye view of both the process and the results made possible by this innovative strategy.
