Time compression has come a considerable way since Stalk and Hour's seminal work on the subject. Its benefits are gradually becoming better understood: 'Time' is increasingly being used as an objective measure for both business performance and as a catalyst for action towards process improvement. The case is presented for why 'time compression' should not be seen merely as a technique for the improvement of manufacturing processes but rather be seen as an underlying philosophy that drives the business forward. Drawing on the broad experience of working on several in-company projects on the UK Department of Trade and Industry funded Time Compression Programme at Warwick University, and developing in detail one specific example of a company in a highly competitive and seasonal marketplace, it is shown how time compression can be applied as a 'business philosophy' that truly changes the way the business operates.
