A manufacturing management written as a story not a textbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me as part of my management degree at UMIST. It is a must for anybody with an interest in manufacturing and management. It deals with all sorts of manufacturing issues inventory / capacity / lean production etc but tells the tale in a novel based format that is exciting and meaningful. How many textbooks do you read, put down and then remember about 2% of ? This book ensures that you remember 90 % of the principles for years to come. An excellent management tool.

One of the best management books ever written !,
By Jack Feeney-Author / Analyst (On a Space Orbit - SPACE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement (Paperback)
You find yourself reading a very interesting and gripping Novel about a guy called Alex Rogo, a plant manager, frantically attempting to save his plant, his job and his wife. As a stand alone Novel, the book is compulsive reading but the fast-moving story, is the vehicle Eliyahu Goldratt uses to communicate a powerful management theory : the theory of constraints, a fascinating theory he himself developed. It get's into common manufacturing problems (bottle-necks, set-ups, resource management) offering clear and concise solutions. It's a great read and unlike the One Minute manager series, there's no touchy/feely stuff. Excellent book !

Great read, better read if you can put it into practice.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement (Paperback)
I agree with the other reviews here, that this book is a can't put down item, although a takes a 2nd read to start to understand the concept more clearly and then the even more difficult bit is actually being able to put that concept into practice within an organisation, I strongly believe that not only does the entire culture of the organisation need changing in line with the TOC concept but it must be part and parcel of the way the whole organisations operates. I work in large global telecoms company and we are just beginning to adopt this way of thinking in our business and are due to start making in roads into the cultural issues surrounding the adoption of TOC.
