- 1. Free of jargon
- 2. Complete with instructions and templates
- 3. Easy to understand and no prior knowledge required

Success Stories
“Very insightful, it addresses our current priorities in a very interactive way. The suggested concepts within the ADVANCE framework are impactful and very practical, - they are not only designed for a supply chain audience, but for everyone who wants to improve productivity and efficiency within their business model.”
“ADVANCE provides a simplified framework for Supply Chain businesses in particular, to seriously shift their performance through productivity improvements. A practical read without jargon or heavy theory.”
“Ishan understands and articulates the significant gap that currently exists between Australian Manufacturing and world’s best practice. In this book he explains the opportunity this presents and draws on his considerable experience to provide helpful guidance for those wishing to embark on the journey to excellence.”
“It is refreshing to read a book that integrates global insights on Operational Excellence (OpEx) with a uniquely Australian perspective. ADVANCE is a handy practical guide for organisations wanting to embark on an OpEx journey or refine what they have.”
“To achieve excellence, there are some fundamentals that should not be short-changed. ADVANCE guides us through 12 such fundamental ‘concepts’ and their implementation. The storytelling and case studies to frame each concept gives life to an enjoyable and insightful book.”
Industry Partners Australia
“In this work, Ishan Galapathy has managed to navigate a fog of jargon that clogs workplaces to cut through a key misunderstanding affecting Australian manufacturers. Rather than the common cost-cutting approach, he describes how to create a workplace culture that starts with cost reduction initiatives, and leads to continuously improving, operational excellence.”
“In these times of accelerated change in our external environments, ADVANCE masterfully provides the distilled reference on deep fundamentals that will be the go-to reference for Supply Chain productivity transformations.”
