Operational Review: Maximum Results at Efficient Costs, 3rd Edition

Maximize operating results at minimum cost, using the most efficient methods

The effectiveness of even the most efficient departments or organizations inevitably decays over time. Far from a simple critique, an operational review identifies what current practices have lost their usefulness and what new best practices can be implemented to ensure a function achieves its goals. Rob Reider's Operational Review: Maximum Results at Efficient Costs, Third Edition examines reviews from every angle, showing each organization how to choose and implement the right review for them.

At its heart, an operational review appraises management's conformity with desired plans and allocation of resources. Reider's easy-to-use guide will help readers:
* Understand fundamental review principles

* Increase awareness of review opportunities
* Improve capability to perform reviews

The third edition of this proven, popular study will guide your organization through the review process from start to finish, so that the review can be performed most economically and efficiently to maximize review results.
