Although frequently hidden, they''re always there - all you need are theeyes with which to see them and the tools with which to mine them. This bookprovides both.Hidden Gold! is a highly readable book on a proven approach to bringing our opportunities out of hiding and turning them into demonstrable bottom-lineimprovements. Hidden Gold! is based onthe authors'' many years of hands-on experience in helping organisations in awide cross-section of industriesachieve spectacular improvements. Examples include a reduction of rework from30% to 5% in just two weeks of team work, and improving a delivery process toreduce delivery times from eight days to overnight.The authors emphasise that, to create permanentchange towards a continuous improvement environment, an understanding of the principles underpinningthe action is vital. Part 1 of the book lays this foundation, with a clearlyarticulated and coherent presentation of the concepts of continuousimprovement. Part 2 guides the reader through a commonsense methodology, basedon practical experience in a variety of environments. There is plenty ofdetail, with examples, comments, anecdotes and suggested activities. Part 3 isa detailed case study describing a real multi-million dollar project carriedout using the Hidden Gold approach. This is a learning experience in itself andadmirably complements the theory. To make the book a self-contained reference,Part 4 introduces many of the tools and techniques suggested for each step ofthe improvement process - and even this manages to contain a few new angles.Bill Jarrard and Jo Kruithof have been in thebusiness of promoting Quality and Continuous Improvement for around fifteenyears. Both individually and as a team, they have worked with a variety of organisations, large and small, from theshopfloor to the highest level of management. In “HiddenGold!” they have brought together their collective experience in a book that describes how dramatic improvementopportunities can be identified andexploited.In this book, they have written a wonderful andpractical guide to help everyone, at any level, in any organisation, in anyenvironment, find and realise their improvement opportunities.
