It represents the company's standard operating practices for managing data using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which have to be learned, practiced, and honed for improvement.Part 2 - Foundation is the core of a company's processes. It is a collection of various systems and practices that are the basis for the company's success. Foundation is purely operational in nature and builds upon the Orientation section. The Foundation section does not stand-alone - it must be used along with the other main elements.Part 3 - Conditioning builds upon Orientation and Foundation. It's the culture of motivating people, using daily routines, data collection and analysis, auditing to ensure compliance, coordinating resources to take actions, and responding to various inputs using analytics.Part 4 - Competitiveness is the way in which a company demonstrates its advantages by implementing short-term plans with long-term investments, strategies, and vision.Reviews: Is a must-read, step-by-step tutorial for those working in a factory.

About the Author: Mark Lado is a consultant, advisor, writer, entrepreneur, world business leader, and US Navy veteran. He was born in Utica, New York, and currently lives in Baldwinsville, New York. Mark earned a BS in Industrial Engineering from SUNY Polytechnic and an MBA from University of North Florida. His work experiences and job titles have been quite broad and has held nearly every job title in a manufacturing facility. He probably did not meet the minimum experience requirements for some positions he has held, but the company leaders believed he had the right positive mindset, work-hard ethic, personal confidence, desire to achieve goals, and they knew he had a keen interest to make the business successful. He thrives on being put into a high-risk business situation with little to no knowledge of that situation and just the belief that he can manage that challenge and make improvements. After many years of honing that trait, he decided to start his own consulting company and that is when his life opened up to even more opportunities, including spending several years at home with his wife raising their kids. Mark has lived and worked in several Asian countries for over 13 years, including Thailand, Malaysia, China, South Korea, and Australia. Also, he has lived in the UK and Germany and several US states. He loves living and visiting many different places seeing and experiencing the sites, cultures, foods, drinks, languages, and making friends. He has friends all over the world and is always looking to make more friends, especially ones that like healthy living. In his spare time, Mark is a master CrossFitter, and master Olympic weightlifter. He is also a former CrossFit gym owner and former PADI scuba divemaster. Mark admires people with similar interests, such as Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs, Marcus Lemonis from The Profit, Andrew Zimmern from Bizzare Foods, and Bear Grylls from Man vs. Wild. He is sure there are many others too, as they all have a similar trait, and one he shares - they all seem to experience great satisfaction from getting into a new situation, learning about it, adapting to it, and overcoming or accomplishing a challenge. Mark enjoys several TV shows, including How It's Made, Extreme Engineering, Top Gear, Through the Wormhole, Wonders of the Universe, Physics of the Impossible, and Star Talk. For him, these shows provide a forum to think, be creative, explore the unknown, and fantasize about it.
