FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Manufacturing Expert Dr. Lisa Lang Hits Amazon.com Best Seller List With “Trendsetters” Dr. Lisa Lang, of the Science of Business, recently hit two separate Amazon.com best-seller lists with the new book “Trendsetters.” Orlando, Fla. – October 6, 2011 – “Dr. Lisa” Lang, President of the Science of Business, recently joined a select group of business experts and entrepreneurs to collaborate and co-write the business and marketing book titled Trendsetters: The World’s Leading Experts Reveal Top Trends To Help You Achieve Greater Health, Wealth and Success! The book was released by CelebrityPress™, a leading business, marketing and health book publisher. Trendsetters: The World’s Leading Experts Reveal Top Trends To Help You Achieve Greater Health, Wealth and Success! was released on Thursday, October 6, 2011 and features top advice from leading entrepreneurs, business owners and marketing experts from around the world. The authors tackle an array of subjects ranging from health, wealth, marketing and business success. Dr. Lisa contributed a chapter titled “Velocity Manufacturing” which is based on her Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program for scheduling highly custom job shops and machine shops. On the day of release, Trendsetters reached best-seller status in two Amazon.com categories: Entrepreneurship and Direct Marketing. Dr Lisa was selected by the editor for an Editor's Choice Award for her Velocity Manufacturing chapter. And, after such a successful release she will be recognized by The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™, an organization that honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.

About the Book: Are YOU a TRENDSETTER? By definition, a Trendsetter is not a follower. So, what is a Trendsetter? Is it a leader? Leadership can mean leading in thought, word or deed, or some combination of all three. In the Business World, thought has no future if bounded by inaction - commonly referred to as 'analysis paralysis' - so thought and deed are invariably intertwined. Now combine those two with the 'word' portion of the trifecta of thought, word and deed, and now...we have the prospect of leadership and success. So, are you a Trendsetter? You may be. There is no prescription for one, but you can compare your goals and achievements with the benchmarks made by those in this book. In this book, we give you a number of our Celebrity Experts® who are Trailblazers and Trendsetters. They have done it! These are successful experts who made their mark and share with you how they and their concepts developed. Can Trendsetting be emulated? Absolutely, but you, yourself, will have to personally work through the stages of thought, word and deed...just like these leaders have. May you be crowned by your definition of Success! What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. ~ Zig Ziglar To order a copy of the book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0983340463/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=thescienceofb-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0983340463&adid=01VV9ZBERTVPK9EP6DN3 About Celebrity Press™: Celebrity Press™ is a business book publisher that publishes books from thought leaders around the world.

Precision Machining Job Shop Scheduling Client Success Story

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Manufacturing and Theory of Constraints Expert Dr. Lisa Lang Shares Client Success Story Tanya DiSalvo, President of Criterion Tool, shares her story of how her precision machine shop used Velocity Scheduling System to achieve record profits.   Green Valley, AZ – November 14, 2012 – “Dr. Lisa” Lang, President of the Science of Business and Theory of Constraints expert, is proud to share one of many client success stories. Tanya DiSalvo is the President of Criterion Tool (founded in 1953) and an active member of both NTMA (National Tooling and Machining Association) and PMPA (Precision Metal Products Association).  Tanya has utilized Dr. Lisa’s Velocity Scheduling System at her machine shop to improve on-time delivery and reduce lead times. Tanya DiSalvo’s case study and success story (written by Mike Touzeau) can be found at https://www.velocityschedulingsystem.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Tanya_Success_Story_v5.pdf Here is an excerpt: “It’s so different from what we’ve seen in the world of manufacturing that it sounded too good to be true. At first as a team we couldn’t get our arms around it, but Dr. Lisa said she was going to give me my money back if it didn’t work, so we were going to do everything she said.” They liked the homework, but several of her 30 employees, including her dad, who was then  consulting and observing as he neared retirement, bet some real cash against her that it wasn’t going to work. “I was pretty sure they thought this was just another flavor of the month. Before VSS we were all frustrated,” she remembers, because they were always  trying to manage the “slop,” as she calls it—the jobs that got bogged down and often carried into the next month,  with select customers always suffering. Once they saw how the system could facilitate movement of jobs, things started clicking. “As we worked through the Velocity Scheduling process, we got more and more in control. We could focus our resources where we needed them the most. We didn’t have to monitor the jobs, the deadlines, the priorities anymore.” “It was all the  same people just changing their focus.” To learn specifically what Tanya did to improve her machine shop scheduling, watch a 47 minute webinar on “How to Get More Jobs Done Faster” at https://www.velocityschedulingsystem.com/webinar/ “Dr. Lisa” Lang is one of the foremost Theory of Constraints experts in the world and a sought after manufacturing expert having been named the 2012 Manufacturing Trendsetter in the USA Today for her inexpensive and guaranteed Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program that has dramatically improved performance of well over 100 highly custom job shops and machine shops.  She has also appeared in CBS News, The Wall Street Journal, Finance.com, About.com, Gear Technology, CNBC, MoldMaking Technology, The Fabricator, NTMA’s The Record and many others. She is active in helping the reshoring of  manufacturing back to the U.S. and in the NTMA, PMA, and AMT communities having helped member companies to reduce their lead-times and improve due date performance. She worked with Dr. Goldratt who is the father of Theory of Constraints and author of the bestselling book, The Goal. Dr Lisa is the President of the Science of Business specializing in increasing profits of highly custom manufacturers by applying Theory of Constraints, Lean and Six Sigma (TLS) to operations with Velocity Scheduling System and to engineering/design with Project Velocity System and to marketing with her Mafia Offer Boot Camp. ### Contact: Dr Lisa Lang Science of Business, Inc DrLisa@ScienceofBusiness.com   keywords: Dr Lisa Lang, Dr Lisa, Theory of Constraints, Velocity Scheduling System, job shop scheduling, machine shop scheduling, Goldratt, reshoring manufacturing, Success Story, Case Study

Manufacturing Expert Dr. Lisa Lang Discusses Theory of Constraints in The Fabricator

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  Manufacturing Expert Dr. Lisa Lang Discusses Theory of Constraints in Article  Dr. Lisa Lang, inventor of the Velocity Scheduling System, featured in a November 2011 article discussing her expertise in Theory of Constraints  Green Valley, AZ – October 10, 2012 – “Dr. Lisa” Lang, President of the Science of Business and inventor of the Velocity Scheduling System is featured in a November 2011 article in The Fabricator and TheFabricator.com, where she was interviewed about Theory of Constraints and Velocity Scheduling System.  The article also highlights two of Dr. Lisa’s clients, CMI Industry America and Guntert & Zimmerman.  The article, titled “High mix, fast delivery--on time: How high-mix, low-volume fabricators adapt the Theory of Constraints,” was written by Tim Heston.  Tim Heston explores how Dr. Lisa helped both clients utilize the Theory of Constraints to keep the chaos of their manufacturing in check, but allow for dealing with emergencies while increasing productivity. Dr. Lisa remarks on the negatives of focusing on efficiency.   Below is an excerpt:

 TOC goes against traditional manufacturing thinking, in which workers produce more than is needed to reduce the number of setups and maximize the efficiency of all resources. The forecast, after all, says these parts will be needed eventually, so why not produce them now? The problem is, of course, that sales forecasts are notoriously inaccurate, so those parts may never be needed. Also, producing so many unneeded parts floods the floor with work-in-process (WIP), while jobs in queue sit for days or weeks waiting for large batches to work their way through.

 Dr. Lisa offers her expertise throughout the article, which explores five main topics: “The Value of Throughput,” “The Importance of Flow,” “Drum-Buffer-Rope for High Mix,” “Full Kit and Accurate Information” and “Enabling Change.” The full article can be found here: http://www.thefabricator.com/article/forceos/high-mix-fast-delivery--on-time “Dr. Lisa” Lang is one of the foremost Theory of Constraints experts in the world and a sought after manufacturing expert having been named the 2012 Manufacturing Trendsetter in the USA Today for her inexpensive and guaranteed Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program that has dramatically improved performance of well over 100 highly custom job shops and machine shops.  She has also appeared in CBS News, The Wall Street Journal, Finance.com, About.com, NY Daily News, CNBC, The Boston Globe, The Miami Herald, and others.

Machine Shop gets BIG results with the Velocity Scheduling System

By Dr Lisa Lang Tanya DiSalvo, President of Criterion Tool & Die, just sent me this email:

Lisa & Brad- We finished off our fiscal year end 10/31..... could have never turned things around w/out the V V S.!!!!!! We finished the year in the black because 'the board' helped us focus on FINISHING! The last 6 months also saw a serious improvement in on time delivery, and an increase in the volume of orders thru our building. We have accepted a long running project, and feel that the self releasing mechanism of "The Board" has allowed us to tackle this type of work effectively while still serving our job shop type customers. No job gets lost in the shuffle no matter how longs its in the building, and the resources (people) have become utility ball players! I have included a snapshot since May of our numbers. Jumped back into Mafia Offer training.... Got the itch to know more!!! THANK YOU! Tanya DiSalvo Criterion Tool

And here are some of their key meterics: [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="441"] The Velocity Scheduling System helps this machine shop get on time![/caption] Criterion has almost doubled the dollars out the door. If you ship twice as much and you don't hire anyone or buy any equipment -- what happens to your profits? Tanya is now working on Criterion's Mafia Offer. Because by implementing the Velocity Scheduling System, they have uncovered capacity. So the next step is to sell that capacity. If you need to get your operations in order, you can sign up here: www.VelocitySchedulingSystem.com.  If registration is closed, you will have the opportunity to get on the waiting list to be notified if there is another session.

Theory of Constraints Results After 1 Year

By Dr Lisa Lang You may remember these graphs from some reported results (a testimonial) on job shop scheduling below. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="441"] The Velocity Scheduling System helps this machine shop get on time![/caption] Well I just got an update from Tanya. Here it is:

SUBJECT: Our One Year Anniversary “Welp it’s Criterion’s one year anniversary with the VSB (Velocity Scheduling System) and WE STILL love it! A few major projects went thru our building: new product launch in Oct- Dec, another new product launch currently under way, reduction of staff thru attrition and increase in work, and in most cases we came thru with flying colors. Attached is our score card. ”

Accenture just released a report in conjunction with the United Nations Global Compact called “A New Era of Sustainability.” The most significant finding was that 93% of the approximately 1,000 CEOs surveyed from across the globe indicated they believe sustainability is important to their companies’ future success. So if sustainability is important to you, maybe the Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program is a good fit. The Velocity Scheduling System that Tanya uses is based on the Theory of Constraints Drum Buffer Rope. There are 1000s of success stories dating back to the 80s. Build -- Capitialize -- Sustain. We agree that sustainability is important. The key is how to achieve it. The answer is simple -- the Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program.

Manufacturing heads back to USA (reshoring) - USATODAY.com

This article in the USAToday on reshoring manufacturing back to the US is interesting and not at all surprising. Regarding this part of the article: "Products that are labor-intensive and churned out in high volumes, such as apparel, textiles and TVs, will likely continue to be made overseas. So will those that are relatively inexpensive to ship but high-priced, such as laptops and cellphones, Ellis says. Goods are increasingly being made near customers, a trend that's driving U.S. makers to build factories in fast-growing China." I did an RMTMA (Rocky Mountion Tooling and Machining Association) dinner presentation several years ago titled "China, India, Tawain ... Oh My!" and my contention then was (and still is) that the more flexible and custom you are as a manufacturer the more likely your work will stay here. The faster you can get highly custom work through your shop -- the more secure your future is. I suggest taking a look at the work you hate to do -- and figure out a way to make it easier, start loving it, and go get more of it because your competition hates it too! The shops participating in our Velocity Scheduling System program are seeing their lead-times cut by more than 50%. If they can have something ready to ship while everyone else is still complaining about it -- they are going to be extremely successful in the long run.

R&D Tax Credit to Improve Job Shop Scheduling

The Tax Extenders Package signed by President Obama on December 17th, 2010 calls for a two year extension, retroactive to 1/1/10 and through 12/31/11 for the R&D Tax Credit. The definition of Research and Development (R&D) is much broader than people realize.  Activities and costs associated with developing and/or improving a product or process can potentially generate R&D Tax Credits. This means that your tuition for the Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program may be covered -- check with your accountant. So learn a new way to run and schedule your shop, get on-time, get happy customers, get more customers --- and then get a tax credit!  How cool is that! And even if, for some reason, it doesn't apply to you.  Velocity Scheduing System Coaching Program is so reasonably priced it may not be worth the effort to look for a writeoff or funding. Now, the only other question you may have is --- Yes, but will Velocity Scheduling System work for me?  Will it work in my my shop with our unique situations and challenges? I don't know, because even though over a hundred highly custom job shops have had fantastic success, that doesn't mean you will.  But I'm willing to investigate it with you.  So if you'd like a private strategy session to discuss your company, your unique scheduling challenges and how/if our scheduling solution will work for you, you can sign up here, there's no charge:

https://www.VelocitySchedulingSystem.com/private

You'll need to enter your name and phone number so that we can call you to schedule a time to talk.  I am personally doing these sessions and we will be going deep into YOUR scheduling challenges.  I will hold nothing back and give you my best advice, even if it is that you should NOT sign up for VSS.  Time slots are limited SO SIGN UP NOW! Dr Lisa President, Science of Business

P.S. Sign up for the no charge strategy session here:  www.VelocitySchedulingSystem.com/private  This is your first step to getting on-time in 2011 and then to getting a tax credit!

P.P.S.  And some states have their own R&D Tax Credit too.  I know Ohio has one, so check with your accountant on that too.  But don't spend too much time, VSS typically pays back in a couple weeks.  It's based on the Theory of Constraints Simplified Drum Buffer Rope, and it works FAST!

Job Shop and Machine Shop Profitability part 2

  This is the second in the series of conversations. Brad:  “Just what should a highly custom job shop or machine shop company set as a profitability goal?  What is reasonable?  How high is up?” Dr. Lisa:  “I’ll give you Dr Eliyahu Goldratt’s answer and then I give my more direct answer.  Dr. Goldratt stated that profitability goal of the business should be a level of return on sales that top management of a company agrees is definitely impossible to attain.” Dr. Lisa:  “For example, if everyone agrees that 5% Return of Sales is definitely possible, that is too low of a goal.  If everyone feels the same about 6%, 7%, 8%, and 9%, they those levels are also too low of a goal.  But if everyone agrees that 10% is not achievable, that then becomes the goal.” Brad:  “That would be an interesting exercise for any CEO to do with his or her top management team.” Dr Lisa:  “My answer:  How high is up is going to be dependent on 1) what percent your Truly Variable Costs (TVCs) are of sales.  And 2) how much capacity you can undercover – meaning how much productivity you can gain with the same people and resources.” Dr Lisa:  Knowing both of these numbers (better to be approximately right, than precisely wrong), will allow you to arrive at a very feasible goal and yet one that most will agree is not attainable based on previous experience.” Dr Lisa:  Using the same example from our last conversation, I’ve added the Return on Sales:

We’ve gone from 0% Return on Sales to 8.3% Return on Sales by being able to sell the 20% productivity gain that was achieved. Brad:  “Many job shops and machine shops that we work with have 20 to 35% TVCs (which typically includes raw materials, outside services, and sales commission if any).  Some more some less, but this is common.  When I initially analyze the financials of a company, I’m looking for the actions and implementation steps required to bring the company to reliably make a 20% Return on Sales month in and month out, year in and year out.” Dr. Lisa:  “Ha!  Be careful, you’ll scare some business owners with that goal.  He or she will definitely think that goal is unattainable!” Brad:  “A small business making 20% Return on Sales is a lot more fun to run than a larger business barely managing to reach breakeven.” Dr. Lisa:  “For sure.  A company with sales of $2.5 million and a 20% Return on Sales has $500,000 of net income.  And so does a company with $25 million of sales with a measly 2% Return on Sales”. Brad:  “Now the nifty thing is that TOC ‘silver bullets’ can be used with that same company with $25 million in sales to bring them to achieve a 20% Return on Sales – a jump from $500,000 to $5 million of net profit.” Dr. Lisa:  “Yes, no wonder that Merger & Acquisition and Turnaround Management Professionals are showing a lot of interest in TOC.” Brad:  “Okay, so let’s discuss more about how this fantastic improvement just might be possible…” To be continued. Best Wishes, Dr Lisa and Brad Stillahn P.S.  To ask questions or leave a comment go below this post. P.P.S.

Job Shop Scheduling for a Custom Material Handling Equipment Manufacturer

By Dr Lisa Lang Here's yet another Velocity Scheduling System testimonial.  This highly custom job shop makes custom material handling equipment.

"We have reduced the time that it takes for a job to go through the shop.  It helped us get control of the schedule, by reducing the scramble of jobs in the shop.  Now we do them in order and everyone in the company knows when to expect a job to be worked on and ready to ship."  Steve, WI.

If you browse the various VSS testimonials, case studies, and results that custom job shops have reported you'll discover that none of the VSS clients are making widgets. None of these shops are doing high volume work of the same widgets over and over. One thing that VSS clients have in common is that they do NOT produce the same things over and over again.  While some jobs, may on occasion, repeat for some of them (or they may make a few things to stock), others don't do any repeat work at all. Job shop scheduling in a custom manufacturing shop is a challenge, to say the least!  But it is this environment that Velocity Scheduling System was developed for. You'll also notice that in some of the testimonials the specific shop is NOT identified.  Why?  Well, Steve in WI and many others don't want their competitors to know how they've managed to gain a competitive advantage.  How is it that they can get more jobs done faster with the same people and resources?  How is it that they've improved on time delivery?  How are they more cash flush and more profitable? To get the results that Steve got or that any of our clients have gotten, you don't need any job shop scheduling software.  VSS is NOT software.  It is a manual, visual scheduling system.  It will work with any ERP software you may use, no ERP, QuickBooks, Excel or whatever software your using now.

The Goal by Goldratt is on Amazon Top Executives Book Club

By Dr Lisa Lang

This article is copyrighted by Science of Business, Inc. 2013

Visit our Re-post guidelines.

In an interview with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezo, Jon Fortt for CNBC reported:

 This summer he (Amazon CEO Jeff Bezo) spent time at Lab126, a Silicon Valley outpost about a mile from Apple headquarters where Amazon engineers hash out hardware designs. And he also hosted three all-day book clubs with Amazon's top executives, capped by nice dinners at the end. Bezos said he used the books as frameworks for sketching out the future of the company. Which books? Bezos was kind enough to share the titles.

• The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker
• The Innovator's Solution by Clayton Christensen
• The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt

The Goal was originally published in 1984 but is still very relevant today.  And, as you likely know, it take place in a machine shop.  Many job shops and machine shops use The Goal as their Bible.  The only problem is that most have no idea how to apply it to their unique shop. Well, I have good news.  If you own or manage a highly custom job shop or machine shop and want to apply what you read in The Goal to YOUR shop, you can do that with expert guidance very inexpensively.  Just check out the Velocity Scheduling System (VSS)  Coaching Program. VSS is NOT software but a visual manual scheduling system developed specifically for highly custom job shops and machine shops which are typically low volume high mix environments where the constraint can move week to week or even day to day. Who's the expert that would guide you?  Well that's Dr Lisa Lang.  She is one of the foremost Theory of Constraints experts who has worked with Dr Goldratt and specializes in applying Theory of Constraints to highly custom job shops and machine shops. Check out Velocity Scheduling System here:  www.VelocitySchedulingSystem.com When you're there check out the free webinar called "How to Get More Jobs Done Faster".  You'll be glad you did!
