Strategic Planning needs no introduction, of course, to today's alert executive. But this practical reference reveals for the first time how it can serve as a totally reliable planning tool you can apply at once in your organization to meet both current and long-range growth objectives. The whole planning process is set forth for you here. Simply provide the specific inputs requested in the early chapters - and you have the first draft of your strategic long-range plan. The next group of chapters show you how to develop the functional plans in all five key areas of your organization: marketing, production, finance, capital budget, and human resources. Then you are shown how to manage the plan strategically, evaluate efficiency up and down the organization, oversee the appraisal and reward process, even see how the current corporate culture may affect growth potential of your operations (and how to take remedial action, if necessary). In-depth case studies illustrate how important concepts are applied in actual practice.

This book 1) shows you how to develop a production plan that implements your firm's strategic plan , and 2) evaluates every resource against the universal benchmarks of time. Is the pressure on to start cutting costs? Are production peaks and valleys a mounting problem? Need help in improving union/management relationships? Or advice on requesting capital appropriations?

The authors answer hundred of on-the-job problems like these as they help you coordinate manpower, machinery and material into a fully integrated program that keeps on schedule. The book covers ALL the responsibilities you must handle if you are to keep production operations running economically and on time, including how to spot the early warnings that can mean production problems ahead, determine the impact of technological advances, evaluate different manufacturing processes and cost factors, improve production schedules through the latest control procedures, improve line-staff relations and much more.
