Review: Business Times
November 2000

Profits and people are often seen as competing needs in business, but in Perry Ludy's view, cultivating a loyal, productive workforce is crucial to business success. In Profit Building, Ludy, who has worked for top companies in every major field from manufacturing to retail, introduces a new approach called the PBP (Profit Building Process), specific techniques for improving profitability by stimulating creative thinking and motivating teams to work together more effectively.

Ludy's five-step process shows how to organize teams with the specific purpose of improving profit, while providing an opportunity for employees to participate in developing cost reduction strategies that yield perpetual profit improvement. Profit Building is a clear, easy-to-read book that describes how any organization can achieve profit improvement.

Ludy, who with his consulting firm, LudyCo International, is based in Woodbridge, has included real-world examples, coupled with his many years of management experience, to illustrate how using a systematic approach, a company can find innovative solutions and ideas to reduce costs.

Profit Building also offers more than 100 specific, tested ideas for cost reduction, generated by a variety of teams using Ludy's approach.
