The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement

de Eliyahu M. Goldratt et Jeff Cox (éd. de 2004)

Quatrième de couverture

Written in a fast-paced thriller style, The Goal is the gripping novel which is transforming management thinking throughout the Western world. Alex Rogo is a harried plant manager working ever more desperately to try and improve performance. His factory is rapidly heading for disaster. So is his marriage. He has ninety days to save his plant—or it will be closed by corporate HQ, with hundreds of job losses. It takes a chance meeting with a colleague from student days—Jonah—to help him break out of conventional ways of thinking to see what needs to be done. The story of Alex's fight to save his plant is more than compulsive reading. It contains a serious message for all managers in industry and explains the ideas which underline the Theory of Constraints (TOC) developed by Eli Goldratt.

Mon commentaire

Un chef d'oeuvre introduisant quelques briques maîtresses du Lean, dont la théorie des contraintes. Le style romancé permet vraiment d'en appréhender la puissance et on progresse vraiment avec le personnage principal. C'est du coup très pédagogique et on a du mal à le poser avant de l'avoir fini...
