Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Profitable production planning is and will remain an eternal challenge to ensuring the prosperity and dignity of companies in a global market. Even though there are different approaches to achieving the target profitability through productivity in the production planning stage these approaches do not guarantee consistent planning creation and sustenance of synchronous profitable operations for multiannual and annual target profit. In feedback to this predicament Alin Posteucă develops a new system called speed-based target profit (SBTP). SBTP is the profitable production management and manufacturing improvement system that approaches production planning to achieve unit speed of target profit for target products through manufacturing cost improvement and bottleneck profitability control for maximum takt time. Managers and practitioners within manufacturing companies will discover a practical approach for cost down and cash up by applying a powerful operational profitable production planning formula to meet profitability expectations through productivity based on strong leadership with the help of a specific system for feedforward concurrent and feedback control. Therefore the SBTP system in this book presents a holistic approach to profitability for target products and the development of its own mechanism since the acceptance of each order from customers to achieve continuous synchronization of all manufacturing processes to market requirements profitability management and profitable production planning. The uniqueness of the book is reinforced by a detailed presentation of the successful application of the SBTP system in two case studies as a way of life and a unit speed of target profit improvement ethos at all hierarchical levels in two multinational manufacturing companies operating in highly competitive markets in order to address the synchronous profitable operations for both the sales increase scenario and the sales decrease scenario. By adopting the SBTP system your company will be able to consistently achieve unit speed of target profit in the bottleneck process for fulfilling annual and multiannual target profit as a unique and effective way through a new profitable production planning paradigm that operates according to its own production system. | Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Redefining Innovation Embracing the 80-80 Rule to Ignite Growth in the Biopharmaceutical Industry

Redefining Innovation Embracing the 80-80 Rule to Ignite Growth in the Biopharmaceutical Industry

Most people marvel at the level of innovation demonstrated by the biopharmaceutical industry in bringing new products to the market – especially in the past 20 years. However there is a crisis looming in the industry that should be a concern to all of us who take for granted the constant pace at which new treatments and increasingly cures have emerged from the laboratories of current sector incumbents. In the book we examine the evolution of the biopharmaceutical industry to understand how it became what we term a unicorn industry with a unique US-centered business model that has led to multiple blockbuster products (aka unicorns) year after year. We explore how past success has created perceived barriers to innovation diversification beyond the chemical or biological-based biopharmaceutical product and highlight the warning signs of the industry’s decline. We define a potential pathway for transforming the industry’s business model by broadening the definition sources and enablers of innovation beyond the traditional biopharmaceutical product. We introduce and advocate for the 80-80 Rule - Being 80% confident that you will only be 80% right the first time should feel normal. The 80-80 Rule is a theme that emphasizes speed and willingness to embrace uncertainty and overcome internal barriers to change. It sets the standard for redefining innovation as a platform to reignite growth of the biopharmaceutical industry. | Redefining Innovation Embracing the 80-80 Rule to Ignite Growth in the Biopharmaceutical Industry

After the steam engine electric generator and printing press the recent development of digital transformation has created an opportunity with extensive sustainable and incremental influence for disruption and renovation. However the most important difference between digital transformation and the previous general-purpose technologies such as steam engines and electric generators is the pace of technology’s penetration across the globe. To cope with the accelerated speed of global digitization the digital transformation process should be accepted adopted and adapted across society and business utilizing a multi-dimensional strategy. This book illustrates a strategic structure that covers Digital Challenges for Industries Applicability for Digital Transformation Digital Transformation Framework People and Organization Structure Capability Delivery Activities and Life Cycle Benefits. How will businesses embrace digital transformation? How will organizations formulate a digital transformation strategy? How will they invest in digital technologies? To answer these questions a strategic structure is created which can provide guidelines to businesses to create a framework for digital transformation that includes strategy process governance and funding. The exponential growth in data capacity (storage process and communication) due to rapid digitalization has created infinite opportunities and different dimensions to businesses. Digital platforms have enabled alternative business models by deconstructing the traditional value chains. Agile concepts driven by design thinking have brought innovative perspectives with an environment of boundless disruption. To run a company with sustainability and manage disruptions more consciously the adoption of a digital platform with an appropriate strategy is the only viable option. Digital transformation (DX) goals and strategies should be in line with a company’s business objectives. The strategic structure explained in the book is a global framework that can be adopted by any profit or nonprofit organization. Like any other transformational process digital transformation has created structural tension between old and new. In this tension employees play a large role and their clarity of thought regarding the transformation process is of paramount interest. To overcome this tension companies need to orient as learning organizations which will provide opportunities for growth in an ambidextrous environment embraced with a digital ecosystem. The book explains how the structural tension between old and new can be mitigated by effectively involving all stakeholders in the transformation process. | Digital Transformation A Strategic Structure for Implementation
