This review is from: The Oliver Wight ABCD Checklist for Operational Excellence (The Oliver Wight Companies) (Paperback)
In addition to improvements to the Planning and Control chapter, which was the strength untill now, this 5th edition has significantly expanded the chapters on Strategy, People / Teams, Quality / Continuous Improvement, and Product Development, making it a more complete tool.
