Book Review: The Goal, a must read for everyone in business
I first read "The
Goal" in the 1990's wen I was consulting. I wanted to deepen my
understanding of factory scheduling, but I got so much more from it. Eli
Goldratt believed that writing text books as novels made them easier to read,
so The Goal is written in that format. I was fascinated and consumed the whole
book in 3 evenings.
Reading this book will
teach you how to schedule a factory, but more importantly, it will teach you
how to understand a system through understanding its bottlenecks. You will learn
the Theory Of Constraints, which will help you understand constraints or
bottlenecks and how they really are the key to process improvement.
Whether you are a
beginner to process improvement or a six sigma master black belt, The Goal will
improve the way you look at processes. If you read one book this year, select The Goal.
I re-read the Goal or I listen to it on audible once every few years and I recommend it widely.
