‘Proper capacity management is the driving force behind
outstanding corporate performance. Essentials of Capacity
Management clearly describes its impact on operations, as
well as how to use measurement systems and process analysis to
enhance capacity usage. This is a solid foundation in capacity
management for the business professional!’

–Steve Bragg, Author

‘Although capacity management is a fundamental concern, it-like
many other fundamentals-is often scanted. In fact, there’s little
that’s more important to most companies than their ability to
manage their capacity, which is simply the ability to do work.
Essentials of Capacity Management does a great job of
giving a quick, yet thorough, overview of the many considerations
involved.’

–Barry J. Brinker, Editor, Guide to Cost Management (John
Wiley & Sons)

‘This book does an excellent job of relating processes to
capacity. Managers and executives will better understand that
managing the effectiveness and efficiency of processes reduces the
amount of capacity required, thus providing an opportunity to
reduce costs while improving process quality and reducing process
time. It shows the relationship of capacity to demand on downstream
processes. It shows that process flexibility reduces required
capacity.’

–John Antos, President, Value Creation Group, Inc.
