The Best Business Technique You’ve Never Heard Of
8 July 2005
Ford, General Motors, and many other Fortune 500 companies are getting their lunch eaten by foreign competitors. Within just the past two weeks, Ford has announced that it is cutting 5% of its salaried positions and General Motors revealed plans to scale back its workforce by 25,000 over the next three years. Most experts agree that U.S. companies must dramatically improve their ability to turn out high quality products that are desirable to consumers, but there is no agreement on how we can solve this growing problem.
The answer may lie in changing the performance improvement methods used by U.S. corporations. “American executives are relying on grossly inadequate techniques to increase product quality, manufacturing/service efficiency, and selling effectiveness” says Charles Holland, author of Breakthrough Business Results with MVT: A Fast, Cost Free “Secret Weapon” for Boosting Sales, Cutting Expenses, and Improving Any Business Process. “Techniques such as ISO or QS 9000, Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma may be useful in order to document current practices or identify low hanging fruit. But creating performance breakthroughs in today’s fast-paced, competitive business environment requires much more powerful methods.”
Holland’s technique known as the MVT™ (Multivariable Testing) process was developed in the nuclear weapons industry where he used a step-by-step procedure to solve manufacturing problems. “From there, the procedure has evolved over the years to where it is now,” says Holland. “It identifies practical, fast, cost-free actions and works every time on anything that needs improvement.”
Although it has been heralded as a breakthrough business tool in major publications like Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, the Economist and Business Week, the MVT process remains under the radar. In fact, Holland’s book is the first one ever published on the business phenomenon.
Many Fortune 500 clients of Holland’s firm, QualPro, have used MVT to add hundreds of millions of dollars to their bottom line with no capital investment at all. Companies like Lowe’s, DuPont, Williams-Sonoma, Progressive Insurance and telecommunications giant SBC have utilized MVT to great success.
Even though it is used successfully by some large companies, Holland is quick to stress that most U.S. managers are unaware of MVT. “It can help improve businesses of any size. MVT works across all industries and has been successfully applied to virtually every business process,” says Holland.
In his new book, Holland describes in detail how managers can achieve dramatic results with the MVT process. “A company can achieve sizable results without investing a single penny in increased operating or capital costs,” Holland says. “Every executive in the U.S. should be utilizing this revolutionary breakthrough in order to unleash the creativity of the workforce and make fast, dramatic improvements in their profits and competitive position.”
