This review is from: Total Productivity Management (TPmgt): A Systemic and Quantitative Approach to Compete in Quality, Price and Time (Hardcover)
An excellent book on field of productivity accounting - introduces to Sumanth's approach, where productivity means more than just units per labour hour. Easy to read and detailed enough for applying the framework on a company.
