Simulation Modeling
This series of three short articles gets into the math behind modeling business processes and making decisions. Breaking every process down to this level of detail is the basis of Six Sigma quality control which large organizations have used to reap huge rewards over the last decade.
Smaller businesses often ignore the math behind decisions and rely on "gut" instinct to make management decisions but often even a company with as little as $1M in revenues can benefit from better analysis of their processes.
What if you applied the same basic analysis outlined in Part 3 for an order fulfilment process to your internal processes - getting material and tools to the jobsite or providing submittals to the customer or turning around RFP's?

Favorite Book 2007
The Toyota Way is my favorite book for 2007. It had so many good ideas that I could not keep up and ended up reading it again and even buying the Field Book to go along with it.
Download Elegant Solutions from Change This which provides some highlights of the Toyota Production System. Too many ideas that are applicable to contractors to even count!
