BEST HANDS ON GUIDE

The book does show when all of these can be improved while simultaneously improving costs, but I think this book is best in combination with The Balanced Scorecard to get a good complement of strengths. As I think about it, we've used the scorecard in my company and it has helped us manage, but if you're in cost savings mode, start with this green book. Highly recommended book.
