The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement

By Eliyahu M. Goldratt & Jeff Cox
Gower Publishing Ltd
November 2004
978-0566086656
3rd revised edition (1st edition Jan 1993). RRP £16.95. Kindle edition also available. Production Management - Case Study

Alex Rago is a management executive trying desperately to improve his performance. His languishing career is placed on the brink when he is given just 90 days to turn around the fortunes of his factory. He has an even tighter deadline to save his marriage.

Rago's fortunes take a lucky turn when he bumps into an old friend at an airport - Jonah. The elusive friend guides Rago cryptically through a lengthy but rewarding journey of process improvement, leaving the reader tantilisingly intruiged at every step.

This is a fast paced fictional novel which will leave the reader sofa-clenchingly entertained as well as asking some thought-provoking questions. 

'A survey of the reading habits of managers found that though they buy books by the likes of Tom Peters for display purposes, the one management book they have actually read from cover to cover is The Goal.' The Economist
