It is no secret that "white collar" or "knowledge worker" productivity has paled in comparison their "direct" counterparts in production. Couple this with the significant increase in administrative, support & service personnel and the urgency of organizational productivity becomes apparent. Even a casual assessment of most value streams reveal that the time, effort and money spent planning, scheduling, and coordinating is much greater than actual "value added" operations. Consequently, the impact of these functions on business performance is typically far greater than in the past.

Why has organizational productivity lagged so much? Well, it certainly hasn't been for lack of effort! Your people are working harder and longer than ever before. The demands are often great, complexity is increasing and although the need for improvement is urgent; consistent, measurable success is harder to achieve. Customers want increased product differentiation, additional services, faster, more flexible delivery, and at a lower cost!
