Abstract: Every finite solvable group $G$ has a normal series with nilpotent factors. The smallest possible number of factors in such a series is called the Fitting height $h(G)$. In the present paper, we derive an upper bound for $h(G)$ in terms of the exponent of $G$. Our bound constitutes a considerable improvement of an earlier bound obtained by Shalev.
