What Executives Are Saying about Viable Vision Goldratt Consulting has made Viable Vision Offers to executives in attendance at 24 Viable Vision Offer Events so far. Executives requesting the FREE Viable Vision Offer were asked to state their reasons for applying. Here is a sample of what compelled them to take the next step and a reflection of their belief in the soundness of Viable Vision: "Our product and freight costs continue to drop, our factory utilization metrics are exceeded and yet our inventory level has grown astronomically over the past three quarters and our stock price has dropped 50%. We currently operate in an environment where our competitors are catching us in technology and quality. There is an excess production capacity in the industry and competitors are willing to dump product into the distribution channels. We would like Eli to develop a Viable Vision for [our company] which would get us out of the build to forecast model, relying on the primary metrics of cost and factory utilization. We need Eli's help to identify the contrary benefits of Drum-Buffer-Rope manufacturing, combined with TOC metrics, in order to encourage a paradigm shift." --VP Supply Chain of a multi-billion dollar technology company "We have increased our revenues (and profits) 6 times in 10 years [using TOC] and I know we can do better." --President of a controls and pumps company "We had considerable success in the past with TOC. It feels like we have now "stagnated on a higher level" as Eli says. The owners and leadership team want to take [our company] to the next level as a company." --President of a cabinet company "I feel our main constraint is in sales and customer diversification. The program is geared toward manufacturing and service, but I believe our small company can have a Viable Vision using the TOC focused on sales." --GM & VP of a battery and power products company "The company faces internal operational constraints in the face of significant demand. While we are able to double, we could triple or quadruple if we could increase capacity." --President of product distribution business "As an employee owned company we would like to secure the future of our company by providing a plan for continual growth and success." --CEO of a manufacturing controls company "I am striving to create the most successful, most profitable, most recognized company in my industry; a company that people want to work for." --President and CEO of an optical products company "Some of us had read The Goal and we knew that we had to find a new way of thinking for our production and logistics functions. Attending the seminar gave us just that; new logical ideas that are smart and not complicated. Much more profitable ideas too, compared to the ones we were used to. When we decided to move on with Dr. Goldratt and his people, we found that their fee was very attractive to us. Dr. Goldratt makes his success dependant on our success and that is a very pleasant premise to start from." --Ragnar Brynildsen, Managing Director of Nova Group (140 employees), Stavanger (Norway) "When someone says that he can explain to me how it is possible to turn our current sales into net profit, this is a challenging and interesting idea to a business man. Out of curiosity, I decided to attend a Viable Vision Seminar. I came as an interested observer to the day and went away an active pursuer. Dr Goldratt showed me clearly that his ambitious vision is indeed viable for large and small companies alike. What I would like to suggest to other CEO's who consider to go to one of the upcoming events, is to go there with an open mind to the possibility that a Viable Vision is possible for them too to achieve." --Declan Gormley, Managing Director Ulster Weavers (280 employees), Northern Ireland "During the Viable Vision Event that we attended, we were presented with a very innovative way of looking at the supply chain. The day was a tremendous learning experience for our people. I firmly believe that supply chain management is the next battleground in the competitive game, regardless what industry you're in. New and creative approaches to the whole supply chain are essential. This is precisely what the seminar and the subsequent Viable Vision process that we adopted for our company brought us. Attending the seminar was a very good idea and one I highly recommend to any ambitious CEO." --Jef Verplaetse, CEO Van Genechten Packaging (2.200 employees), Turnhout (Belgium) Principal Sponsor Co-Sponsors
