Nerve Center
See What’s Really Going On in Your Company — and Do Something About ItBy Bill CanadyRecorded TrackLength6h 34m
About this audiobook
Your company doesn't lack a plan. It has four.
In Nerve Center, Bill Canady shows CEOs how to run SIOP—sales, inventory and operations planning—the monthly cycle that replaces separate forecasts, budgets and production plans with one plan in units and dollars, carried to the gross margin line.
Freeze the numbers and tie them to the ledger. Test demand at the constraint. Price every option. Record each decision with an owner, a date and a dollar value. One invented company, Riverton Industrial Products, runs its first three cycles in the open, every number reconciled.
The companion to The 80/20 Institute's PGOS SIOP Masterclass. The complete Field Guide, with thirty-nine worksheets, is sold separately.
Narrated using a digital replica of Bill Canady’s voice.
