A Process of Ongoing Improvement

Nick Gracilla

Yes, there’s a dreadful personal storyline, with stiff characters seemingly flown in from Atlas Shrugged. And yes, it’s a business book written in that dreadful narrative style. Yet, for anyone interested in business process improvement, or the intellectual history behind Agile/Lean/Kanban software development, this classic sets out the theory of constraints in an imaginative, engaging method. Recommended.

Fantastic ideas and very thought provoking... But quite average on the novel/story facet. Almost seems unnecessary to present the ideas in such a fashion.

Pedro Giménez

Recomendado. Una buena —y corta— novela que nos brinda valiosas cápsulas de conocimiento sobre los sistemas de producción, envueltas en una entretenida historia —con romance incluido— sobre el manager de una planta con problemas para satisfacer las necesidades de sus clientes —y de su esposa.

Lo que más me ha gustado del libro es que emplea el método socrático para hacernos razonar sobre el funcionamiento del sistema de producción y los diferentes sistemas que lo componen.

En definitiva, es un libro genial para la mesita de noche: no es una novela vacía de contenido y no necesita una lectura muy activa.

Goldratt was an internationally recognized leader in the development of new business management concepts and systems.

The story of Alex's fight to save his plant contains a serious message for all managers in industry and explains the ideas which underline the Theory of Constraints (TOC) developed by Eli Goldratt. Written in a fast-paced thriller style, The Goal is the gripping novel which is transforming management thinking throughout the Western world. It is a book to recommend to your friends in industry - even to your bosses - but not to your competitors!
