A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Growing and processing poultry. Forecasting interest rates. Making macaroni and cheese. Producing state-of-the-art blades and vanes for the high temperature / high pressure sections of jet engines.

After those 14 years in the corporate world, she founded her consulting business in 1990. For the past 26 years she has transformed operations, transforming business for manufacturers in a broad spectrum of operational environments. Process, discrete, and job shops. Consumer and industrial. Chemicals, metals, plastics, rubber, electronics, precious stones, ceramics, assembly and more. And she loves them all! Her thought leadership is expressed through consulting, writing, and speaking—the Johnny Appleseed of manufacturing operations strategy.  In addition to her books Strategic Profits and Start Smart, Finish Strong: Forging Your Path to Operational Excellence and Long-Term Success in the Manufacturing World, Morgan has published hundreds of articles in highly regarded journals like INC Magazine, IndustryWeek, Target, and the American City Business Journals.
