Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Productivity Measurement and Improvement
Lawrence S. Aft · 1983
62/100
👎 Skip It
Aft's book has real staying power -- it's been a go-to industrial-engineering reference since 1983 and earned a second edition, which doesn't happen by accident. But it's a textbook through and through, and the tools inside predate a lot of modern productivity technology. Useful if you're in the field, skippable if you're a general reader.
