But if what we advocate is genuinely worth your attention, it can’t just be a “Synchronix” thing.

It has to demonstrate consistent success over many years in many environments.

To make that point, the numbers you see below came from an INDEPENDENT analysis of more than 400 PUBLISHED Case Studies of manufacturing businesses that applied the same Principles and Tactics detailed in our Roadmap.

 
This summary is powerful for several reasons.

First, these are AVERAGES of companies in a wide range of environments. Big and small. Make-to-stock, make-to-order. Standard products, engineered products, job shops (a specialty). Representing scores of different industries.

Inevitably some with committed managers; others with indifferent managers. Some with MBAs and others “just” graduates from the school of hard knocks. State-of-the-art computer systems or whiteboards and spreadsheets. Accurate data or unreliable and missing data.

So, with all that in mind, look again at these results. Companies deploying this Focus and Leverage simply have an unfair advantage over competitors. Even those that label themselves “World Class.”

Second, look at the combination. While revenues grew 67% or so, Lead Times dropped and Inventories dropped and On-Time Deliveries jumped. That’s a powerful combination!
