Macrologistics Management defines the term "Macrologistics" as a means for designing a catalyst for change in any organization. The "macro" approach means seeing the big picture-to use time and place strategies for competitive advantage. It is a "breakthrough" strategy because it prioritizes "logistics" selection as a key factor in developing customer satisfaction and market penetration. Traditional management approaches the product and cost savings as key factors in their strategy. This book demonstrates how new approaches can be even more effective and more profitable-it will help you achieve complete transformation in your organization through a systematic process for managing change and by using carefully prioritized change management strategies. The framework for change, as explained in this book, is one where continuous monitoring is facilitated by a relevant and responsive information system, workers and managers are empowered and rewarded for innovation, and leaders encourage a passion for change. With Macrologistics Management you will learn how to unleash new sources of synergy-ways for various groups involved with the organization to work together-that help promote creativity and motivate an effective and rapid revolution in your workplace!;Macrologistics Management: The Catalyst for Organizational Change, The Macrologistics Systems Model: Putting the Pieces Together, Alignment, Policy Deployment and QFD -- The Twin Engines of Macrologistics, FPL, 3M, Supply Chain Management, Becton Dickinson, Nippon Steel, Microage, Value-Chain 10-Point Model, Information Technology, Levi Strauss, How Technology Wins, Achieving Logistics Quality, KAO, Better Information, Data Scatter, Lithonia, ELM, Mobilization, Total Innovative Management, Burlington Railroad, Xerox Systematic Problem Solving Process, Hitachi, Eastman Chemical, Samsung, Stranco, Ikea, Shisiedo, IBM, Chrysler, Norfolk Southern, Just In Time (JIT) /JIT II (TM), Bose, A Day in the Life, Bell Labs, JIT and the Management Accountant, Inventory Policy and Practice, Impact of JIT Systems on Small Businesses, Value Stream Quality System, Whirlpool, Hewlett Packard, Return On Quality, Texaco, Kieretsu in America, Benchmarking Using Critical Success Factors, General Electric, Motorola, Heroes on the Help Desk, APQC, Integration, Process Management and Reengineering, Xerox, IBM Restructures, Macrologistics Management and the Balanced Scorecard Measurement System, Mars, Air Products, Total Cost: A New Trend, Implementing Your Own Macrologistics Management Masterplan
