Value, which is something we hear all the time, is quality divided by cost. Value increases when quality increases relative to cost.
Speed multiplied by value equals the velocity of profitable cash flow.
Increase speed and you increase the cash in a given time period. It's as simple as that. Companies have been working on product quality for years, often with outstanding results. The U.S. automotive manufacturers are testimony to that. And it is well documented that ongoing cost reduction practices have been a mainstay culture of successful manufacturing businesses in the past.
