Editorial Review: Product Description: Revised third edition! Alex Rogo is the manager of a failing manufacturing plant who receives an ultimatum from corporate headquarters: Turn the situation around in three months or the plant will be scrapped. With help from a mysterious mentor, Rogo discovers a revolutionary new way to do business—a way for people in any field of endeavor to increase productivity, profitability, and personal fulfillment. A business book disguised as a novel, a love story about the manufacturing process, and an exhilarating adventure in human potential, The Goal is changing how America does business. First published in 1984, it became an underground bestseller; today it's used by thousands of companies and taught in hundreds of business schools. Includes the author's personal story, "My Saga." This third edition includes case study interviews. Professional readers recreate interviews that David Whitford, Editor at Large with Fortune Small Business, conducts with the author Eli Goldratt and with business professionals from General Motors, Thomson-Shore, Security Federal Banks and others who put the principles of The Goal into action.

Additionally, on the ... Read More Rating:  - Julie Rogo Knocks It Down One StarPer my graduate class in quality engineering: "Read The Goal and provide an executive summary of the book. The summary should cover the main points of the process that Mr. Rogo and his team took to turn around the plant. In addition to the summary, answer the following questions." Part I -- Executive Summary The problem of production has challenged human beings since they first evolved. Even hunters and gatherers had to do elementary planning to evaluate local ...

Rating: - Manufacturing world at a glanceI have just started to read this book, and from the very beginning it feels like you are inside the normal reality of manufacturing. It is easy to write books about theories, but giving a real feeling of daily manufacturing issues is something new. I expect a lot form reading the whole, since page by page you discover more as the guy who's involved in story. Browse for similar items by category:
