Synopsis

While many analytical texts provide an abundance of formulas and proofs, few tackle the more difficult task of providing the context, rationale, and inquiry that managers, MBAs, and Six Sigma Black Belts so desperately need. Further, while many training programs focus on equipping managers with skills in quantitative methods, few focus on interdisciplinary skills of the same nature. With examples ranging from how to avoid pitfalls in resource allocation in process improvement projects to how best to measure holistic organizational performance to how simulation and analytical models can be used synergistically, this book provides a foundation upon which interdisciplinary skills can be built.
