There is much in this book to admire. The structure is logical, the research is extensive, the referencing is meticulous, and it is written in a clear, accessible, and lucid style. It pays its due to the work of others on which it builds, and makes an impressive contribution to our understanding of the devices which can be called upon to regulate relations between international courts and tribunals faced with investment disputes. With the continuing rise in the
number of investment treaty claims, Dr. Wehlandâs work is likely to be frequently consulted by scholars and practitioners in the field, and deserves to be warmly welcomed into the literature.

Praise for Peter S. Beagle and The Last Unicorn&ldquo;Comes alive and stays alive on bright intensity of imagination.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Peter S. Beagle is (in no particular order) a wonderful writer, a fine human being, and a bandit prince out to steal readers&rsquo; hearts.&rdquo;&mdash;Tad Williams &#160;&ldquo;Almost as if it were the last fairy tale, come out of lonely hiding in the forests of childhood, The Last Unicorn is as full of enchantment as any of the favorite tales readers may choose to recall...A delicate, sensitive, yet powerful rendering of all the intangibles that make a fairy tale unforgettable.&rdquo;&mdash;St. Louis Post-Dispatch&ldquo;Beagle...has been compared, not unreasonably, with Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien, but he stands squarely and triumphantly on his own feet...The book is rich, not only in comic bits but also in passages of uncommon beauty. Beagle is a true magician with words, a master of prose and a deft practitioner in verse.&rdquo;&mdash;The Saturday Review &#160;

An Illustrated History of Continental Opera Production and Staging

From the Score to the Stage

Alin succeeded in a beautiful new book -- this time a new theory and a new practice in operations management. The SBTP is a new paradigm for profitable production planning which integrates productivity measurement and improvement directly within the planning and scheduling of production activities. Without a good production planning system, in fact a maximum degree of use of current and future capacities, the results of improvements in working methods and performance may disappear, so SBTP is necessary for productivity management to achieve target profitability. Therefore, both managers and practitioners and academia will have a real enlightenment by identifying a new valuable way to achieve the target profit by increasing productivity for those concerned with operations management. I am convinced that SBTP will have a major impact on the science of management and will certainly open a new implementation topic in manufacturing companies and beyond in these days and in the future.
-- Shigeyasu Sakamoto, Ph.D, Doshisya, P.E.; CEO, Productivity Partner Inc., Japan

The author, Alin Posteucă, has conducted a very courageous and honest examination of Toyota Production Systems (TPS), Lean Manufacturing, Theory of Constraints (ToC), Six Sigma, Kaizen (Incremental Changes) and Kaikaku (Radical Change), Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Total Quality Management (TQM) and its strengths and weaknesses in achieving planning and developing synchronous (occurring at the same time) profitability in operations. While the author is not proclaiming that these methods do not work, he does point out where many of the weak points in the overall systems do not achieve their intended potential. Additionally, the Author does not claim that the new system, Speed-Based Target Profit (SBTP), should replace these other system approaches, but instead demonstrates how Speed-Based Target Profit (SBTP) will help in the realization of the target profit these systems strive to achieve.
The Author has introduced new concepts, tools and methods such as Takt Profit, Kaizenshiro, first presented in his previous books on Methods Design Concept (MDC), Waste Map, and presents a deeper understanding of the various concepts like the 3 G’s of Kaizen: Gemba, Gembutsu, Genjitsu.
I usually read a book in a day or 2, but I spent more than three weeks studying this book. This is a book for deep thinkers and for those wanting to meet the annual and multiannual ROI targets in their businesses. The universities just do not teach these ideas in MBA programs and it’s a shame because so many managers and business leaders are left blind-sided in the real world with trying to solve the common problem of achieving profitability targets but without the system or tools to accomplish this goal.　
I not only recommend you read Speed-Based Target Profit (SBTP), but that you study it deeply. While you will likely need to adjust the system and models to your own companies’ specific customer demand, flow, and constraints, whether that be internal (i.e., Total Productive Maintenance) or external (i.e., Supply Chain), the reward of achieving profitability targets will be yours to celebrate. Reading this book will not make the work you have to do in implementing the system, methods, and solutions less hard, but I believe it will make it at least possible. You can avoid much the trial and error, and strategies of hoping and praying, with real system tools and methods that the author has demonstrated can solve these common production planning and development problems that exist in most business operations.　
I recommend this book to all those wanting to delve deeper into systems thinking, to understand the bridge between Industrial Engineering and business profitability. For all Operations Managers, Production Managers, Planners, Schedulers, Supply Chain Managers, Lean Sensei, Kaizen practitioners and Lean Six Sigma Belts. I challenge all professors in colleges and universities to encourage your students to compare and contrast, the concepts and models presented in this book, with the theories currently being taught. Books like this can bring hope and integrity, where learning can be restored in our educational systems, but more so that the students have the tools and insights needed to actually take on these problems in the real world. 
-- Steven Bonacorsi, President of the International Standard for Lean Six Sigma (ISLSS) and Certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt (CLSSMBB), Management Consultant and Owner of the Lean Six Sigma Group

Alin has spentmany years developing and refining the concepts that underpin the content of this, his latest book.　I have observed this development and can attest to the rigour and application he brings to the subject. The result is the development of a new approach to productivity development　and target-setting called Speed-Based Target Profit - essentially a new paradigm for production planning which integrates productivity review and improvement directly within the planning process. Alin　makes the point in the book: the real question is not "Is my methodology theoretically sound?" but "Does my methodology solve practical problems?" Examples are also continually revisited and worked through in detail, so readers should be able to follow the development of the ideas as they　progress from concept to practical implementation.　Regular summaries and conclusions also help in explaining the concepts and drawing out key messages. This is a rewarding book to read - especially so if you are looking to make a commitment to improving your manufacturing operations and your profits.　The book is the result of many years of thinking and practical experience, fusing approaches from the East and West into a comprehensive, profit-focused, productivity improvement approach that can bring together managers from different disciplines to form a change team capable of transforming production planning and operations.

I am pleased that Productivity Press, the company I started in 1980 is publishing Alin’s new book. You will find this book innovative, interesting and very challenging. The book is scholarly, and will require study by serious practitioners of Lean thinking but it will be worth the effort. I recommend that the book be read in study groups with the readers asking each other questions to bring out the information to be practically used in your organization.

I appreciate Dr. Alin Posteucă for developing a structured approach for rational cost reduction through productivity improvement in four connected books, each developing and describing the approach further. In his latest book, "Speed-Based Target Profit: Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations", the novelty is the conversion of the target profit into TAKT PROFIT or profit per takt minute, facilitating planning and optimizing production accordingly, to continuously meet the target profit, for both the sales increase scenario and the sales decrease scenario. This new approach implements a production plan to simultaneously meet both the customer's expectations for the promised delivery schedules and the organization's growth expectations. It is important to add that Dr. Alin Posteucă successfully implemented this new approach in companies and included the description of two successful assignments in the book. The production quantity and profit planning from this book implements many of the principles of industrial engineering codified by me. Dr. Alin Posteuca's approach within this book and his previous books on Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment are a must read for C-Suite managers, manufacturing managers, corporate planners, production planners, industrial engineers and other continuous improvement specialists, cost accountants, management accountants and cost estimators. A must have book for corporate and academic institution libraries. So, through this book about Speed-Based Target Profit, Dr. Alin Posteucă makes a radical beneficial change in the theory and practice of manufacturing management, a new paradigm of thinking for today and tomorrow.

Alin has done a great work again in this book to bring to bear the relationship between productivity and profitability. His research work has made this book to be a valuable resource in the hands of productivity practitioners, professionals in various fields of human and material management and academia. The light he shared in the book I believe will help many managers in the understanding on how to measure, analyze and practically calculate productivity for profitability with every factor of production. This is a must to read for anyone who really seek to find the alignment of productivity to profiting, which has been a big-gap in the ecosystem of productivity managers and many business owners. Productivity measurement in line with result achieved and goals actualization are common knowledge but Alin has gone further to cascade expected output to profit per unit of resources added with a lot of formulas and calculations to make this simple for anyone in the helm of affairs in the service or manufacturing industry. This book is a complete mind shift from the old ways of measuring performance to a new way of calculating additions of every single item that goes into making a product or service. This new thinking will be greatly helpful in planning, execution and evaluation stages of operations. I therefore recommend to everyone who seek to affect bottom-line and see financial returns as key measurements for productivity.

As a trend, the practical need to have a production planning to ensure the consistent profitability of companies is increasingly evident now and especially in the future. This book presents a new thinking for achieving profitable production planning in detail. Besides practical applications, which are clear and to be followed, I especially liked the concepts of TAKT PROFIT, profit bottleneck operations and KAIZENSHIRO budgeting that are necessary for any company. The anticipated natural impact must be constituted by the reaching of a critical mass that will assume (at individual level as well as by the structure) the idea of ​​continuous improvement of the processes; in addition, the degree of penetration of the details mentioned in this book comes to logically complete the adherence to the ideas presented. Great ideas, a well-structured book and a very clear motivation for success.

After reading the book Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment (MCPD) Profitability Scenarios,the strategic approach to cost improvement, I wondered how we could use this in terms of production planning. Then I discovered Alin Posteucă's new book entitled Speed-Based Target Profit, which addresses how to achieve profitable synchronization of operations, in fact a new paradigm of profitable production planning. It links one of operational language at the level of takt time with finance terms through establishing and continuous fulfillment of TAKT PROFIT. I believe the TAKT PROFIT will lead a journey to profitability by improving costs based on productivity in these times and in the future. The book provides all the details needed to successfully replicate these new concepts in any company. It is worth reading the book and trying to apply the methodology.
