SETTING A TREND
The publishing industry is going through a lot of introspection and changes.
But unexpected among them was this book from Dr. Sridhar Lolla, a management
Consultant, who focuses on operational excellence and the theory of constraints (TOC) .
He has been involved in one of the world’s biggest implementations of TOC.
‘The path ‘, set in a pharma company, shows the way to positively impact
Business results by improving management of complex and chaotic dynamics
faced by manufacturing professionals day in and day out, while there are, many
books in the market that address this issue in different ways, almost all are
located in the engineering segment by choosing the Pharma industry and
addressing not only the complexities of operations, but also the issue
of the availability and pricing of drugs, Dr .Lolla successfully intergrates
several view points to present a solution.
While this in itself was an exciting proposition for productivity and
Quality Publishing ( PQP), I was amazed at the way this book was
Written, or rather, created .One hundred and eighteen professionals
came together to co-create this book to what it is today .what we
got was the third version, after two versions had been vetted by
Professionals across different segments not only with domain expertise,
but also for design and flow of content. This co-creation was managed on
an online plat form.
It is indeed an honour for PQP to be part of this journey and publish
The first such co-created book in India .we expect that this will trigger
A trend for more such books, validated by peers and affected professionals,
Being written in the near future. This methodology of writing draws on varied
Experiences and therefore is more holistic and comprehensive.
The path has been written and published like a project, following the
Principles out lined in the book. We expect you, the reader, will benefit
And find answers to your pain points. As always, we eagerly look forward
To your feedback and in puts.
Apart from Sridhar Lolla who has written a wonderful book and created
And managed the trend setting co- creation plat form, I must mention the
Significant work done by Meera who edited the book and the team at
DSM Soft who have helped design the layout of this book.
Your comments and suggestions about the contents of this book and the ‘
Co-creation platform are welcome. – K Srinivasa Murthy
