Cash is lying around everywhere in companies. It’s piled to the ceilings in warehouses and on shelves, hiding in plain sight as inventory. It litters administrative offices, disguised as incorrect invoices, late billings, incomplete forms, input errors, sloppy requests from salespeople. It languishes in the countless places a customer’s order can hide as it crawls from order entry to production and shipment. It sits in business’s lobbies waiting for sales calls to start.
All that cash is retrievable, gettable, bankable—available for re-investment and dividends. Turn Waste into Wealth will help you get that cash by becoming a Lean company.
