The right manufacturing strategy is vital to maintaining profitability and running an efficient business. Manufacturing, however, is a complex business, and it is often difficult to know where to start when reviewing and developing long term strategic plans. This industry guide explains in clear, simple stages how to review your current processes and procedures, and how to build on this information to develop, present and implement new manufacturing strategies. Based on a uniquely structured approach developed over many years with major industry clients, including Rolls-Royce and Federal Mogul, its holistic approach can be applied to every area of operations from the entire organization down to individual business units or processes.

Written for managers of small-medium sized businesses and industry consultants, this book also forms part of a three volume set covering business strategy, performance, and competencies. Based on a uniquely structured approach developed over many years with major industry clients, including Rolls-Royce and Federal Mogul, this industry guide explains in clear, simple stages how to review your processes and procedures, and how to build on this to develop, present and implement new manufacturing strategies.

 "You get what you measure," says the old adage. But is your organization getting what it needs from its existing performance measurement system? Many organizations have tried various scorecarding approaches, but have found that they didn't deliver what they wanted. Others have found that 1990s frameworks are inadequate for today's increasingly complex business environment of multiple priorities and stakeholders. Apart from shareholders and customers, several other stakeholders have a vital role to play today—such as employees, intermediaries, suppliers, alliance partners, regulators and communities. Stakeholder relationship management is the key to successfully navigating the many pitfalls of managing in this new and rapidly evolving climate.

The Performance Prism presents an innovative and practical solution to this phenomenon and provides the answers to contemporary managing-with-measures challenges. It puts key stakeholders, and managing the organization's relationship with each of them, center stage with a novel framework. And, unlike some other approaches to the subject, it provides a level of granularity that allows you to implement it successfully. Just another management theory? On the contrary, the authors—from Cranfield School of Management's Centre for Business Performance—explain what you need to do, why it needs to be done, and how to do it, illustrated with many examples of both best and worst practice.

Understanding how your manufacturing business performs is essential to remain competitive, but extremely difficult to do. The main purpose of this book is to provide directors, managers, change agents and consultants with simple but effective tools to help design and implement performance measurement systems, such as the Balanced Scorecard. It contains specific tools which will be of interest to practicing managers and consultants.

These tools and techniques have been developed over many years and honed through application in companies such as Rolls-Royce Aerospace and Federal Mogul. Besides large multi-nationals, the techniques have also been used effectively in medium and smaller sized enterprises and are appropriate to any manufacturing company employing 50 people or more.

Measuring business performance is at the top of the management agenda. This book explains why performance management has become so fashionable, and illustrates how different businesses use different measures.
