Reseña del editor

If cash flow is the lifeblood of a company, then Cashflow Reengineering is a company's health workup. Many businesses, large and small, mismanage their money. Unfortunately, when the aches and pains of increased costs and reduced profits are felt, organizations often misdiagnose the underlying causes and prescribe drastic measures - like layoffs - to alleviate the symptoms. This leaves the disease to flourish, ready to strike again. In this groundbreaking book, James S. Sagner takes the popular and well-established principles of reengineering and for the first time applies them to the everyday problems of cashflow management. He shows readers how to accurately diagnose their company's cashflow situation and correctly prescribe a successful treatment. Sagner's advice cuts to the heart of the matter, focusing on numerous corporate activities that affect cash flow as well as on the negative effects of traditional management philosophies.

In just a few years, "reengineering" has become a significant way for companies to rethink and restructure their organizations. Now, James Sagner shows how to apply this highly effective process to the specific area of cashflow, one of the most essential elements of a business. In detail, he explains how to reengineer a company's cashflow system in order to:

- put a company in the strongest possible financial position (increase available cash)

- radically improve internal processing systems

- determine where outsourcing would be an efficient alternative to an in-house system.

The book provides specific, tested techniques for assessing a cashflow system, including the "time value" of money, gross margin analysis, scenario impact analysis, and an original model: the payment stream matrix.
