performance.
Grasp the concept of situs and how to
apply it.
Mission and structure organizations for
efficiency.
Identify and implement efficiency
enhancing processes.
The
father of Management Engineering opens the door to direct manager applications.
This is the first comprehensive general text for manager use, built on the new
vision that comes from applying professional efficiency engineering to the art
and science of gaining performance through organizations.
The leap in managerial ability is almost too
good to be true, you have to experience it for yourself. I am making the first
part of this work available for immediate download. Nothing else can adequately
prepare a manager to see what has been missing.
A small business now operates with 4 to 6
workers supported by each person performing management and internal support.
This same internal support person in our huge modern corporations is only able
to support 2 to 3 workers. Our small management systems are now about twice as
effective as our major corporations at gaining performance through workers.
What is really telling is that we think
these larger organizations are far more efficient than their smaller cousins. Our vision is
corrupt.
We see the benefits of scale in production
areas, where efficiency engineering has been applied. We don’t get
benefits from scale in large management systems. In modern management, where we now lack efficiency
applications, we find uncontrollable growth in size and complexity.
Management engineering provides a potent new concept:
To
manage is to make others more effective, even those in management systems. So begins the journey that leads to efficiency in
gaining performance through organizations. The subject of this book is
efficiency engineering applied to the work of gaining performance through
organizations. The results are techniques and understandings appropriate for
application by a working manager.
The secret that unlocks this fantastic
potential is found in a clearer picture of management and what it must
accomplish. Management and internal support are
costs that a business incurs while gaining performance through its operating
areas. Efficiency comes from maximizing values, and from
minimizing costs, the effective opposite of today's common direction for
seeking efficiency in management.
Grasp this new understanding. Efficiency is
not an esoteric subject; it is the comparison between outputs and inputs. When
efficiency-engineering techniques are applied in management, they are every bit
as effective as when they were newly applied in production.
Measure efficiency. The only two efficiency metrics for an organization
are the value it produces for customers, and what it costs to operate the
organization. The difference is profit; the ratio is efficiency.
Use intelligent internal investments. Make intelligent management decisions by comparing
expected impacts on the two organizational metrics.
Manage the boundaries of
an authority area. Limit your
decisions to where they have desired impacts; delegate effectively to others.
Assign management work. Avoid overlapping authorities, make each
subordinates responsible for their use of authority.
Eliminate unnecessary
internal work. Do only the work
that promotes profitable performance
Simplify management
processes. Use functional
analysis to establish performance essentials. Do the work that supports
performance by subordinates
Structure organizations
for efficient operations. Use
functional analysis to identify and correct inefficient structures
Upgrade management
processes. Identify internal
processes that interfere with operations, modify or replace them with
engineered applications.
Multiply the work you can
perform. Make use of the killer
scientific assignment process. Learn what to delegate and what to assign. Learn
basic cost accounting for management work.
Make your subordinate
efforts manageable. Modularize
your subordinate management.
You don't need to take this on faith - read
the first 10% of the book, or download it. This work is its own best
advertisement. The sooner you take hold of the benefits of management
engineering, the sooner you take more effective charge of your subordinate
organization. There is no reason to wait; there will be good reason to get a
copy of this work for your own library.
