Throughout this book, we explain how all operations departments must harmonize with the whole process to achieve operations execution excellence.

The book emphasizes that the fundamental component of achieving operations execution excellence is developing unified planning that integrates sales, marketing, procurement, manufacturing, transportation and warehousing, and finance to maximize consumer, customer, and enterprise benefits.

By incorporating hands-on experience, this book discusses how to improve operations execution, sales and operation planning, warehouse management, production management, and procurement.

This book emphasizes that operations execution excellence is the foundation for building competitive advantages. Thus, for any organization to achieve sustainable growth, operations execution excellence has to be in place.
