Truth on Time: 20 Essential Principles for Operational Excellence

By David Finlay and Alex Bourdon

Most companies don't fail because they lack data. They fail because they lack truth, and by the time they realize it, it's too late.

Truth on Time dramatizes 20 essential principles that separate organizations that succeed from those that stall. Each chapter drops the reader into a different company facing a different crisis: a forecast no one trusts, a supplier single-point-of-failure no one flagged, planning issues caused by years of master data neglect, a product launch unraveling because sales, operations, and quality were never truly aligned. From S&OP discipline to New Product Introduction readiness, from data integrity to cross-functional accountability, each principle is unpacked through messy human reality.

In the high-stakes world of medical devices, where a single misstep in manufacturing, supply chain, or regulatory compliance can derail a product launch or harm a patient, operational excellence isn't a buzzword. It's a survival requirement. If operational excellence is critical for your business, this book is for you.
