  • Really enjoyed it

  • Great book, narrator makes it enjoyable to listen to.

  • Amazing book! Easy and fun way of explaining the management problems manufacturing organisations deal with today because of wrong assumptions. You find yourself solving the puzzle at the same time as the main caracter.

  • This book is a must! A very best and really helpful books.

  • Interesting and smart way to look at common problems. Narration was entertaining. Sounded like Kevin Spacey.

  • Great book on looking at things as processes from different angles in how to solve age old problems. Was a great listen and got great actionable info from it.

  • Top class content perhaps difficult to grasp in one read. It is staged very nicely from beginner level to expert. Very entertaining narration, 11 hrs just flew by.

  • Really helpful book for an operations management course I am taking in university. Found the dialogue a little dry while reading on my own, but this audiobook made the book so much more interesting and easy to read!

This book was written before lean came into picture as a concept that can be applied and reaped by larger audience and TOC was established in mid 60's but it was not put up in easy to understand perspective and was in form of journals and papers but this book made it common sense for common man and was pushed by American Manufacturers to their employees, which helped them to define new way of cost measuring and defining the competitive priorities in context to their strategic goals. Secondly the advancement of SPC (Statically Process Control) and Lean puts greater emphasis on TOC, and till now this book has been prescribed by many academia to students for understanding of Lean, Six Sigma, Agile etc.

It is hard for me to find the right tone to review this book, perhaps I'll open by saying that of all the business books I've read this remains the most approachable, and possibly also the best value for money once the case studies in the interview with the author at the end of the book are taken into account.
Really it is built around a very simple insight - that the speed of a convoy is determined by the slowest ship, what the book does is demonstrate the effect of consistently applying this in...more

Great explanation of the theory of constraints and operations management. It's a business classic- first published in 1984 - but still relevant as it gets at the fundamentals. I almost removed a star for trying to create a fictional story to tell the book in that was badly told/edited. Did we really need the side story about the protagonists marital issues?
One of the biggest takeaways from this book is that it's incredibly important to set the right goals to manage a complex operation. This soun...more

Recommends it for: all industrial engineers and process managers
The best process improvement novel I've seen, this classic work explains the all-important Theory of Constraints through real life examples and a surprisingly good story. Most books of this nature are exceptionally unrealistic, but this one manages to keep the reader engaged, which is key for an instructional text like this.
The book's lessons have some practicality in normal, everyday life, but its greatest utility is for those involved in process improvement in industries such as manufacturing,...more

This is to Systems Thinking what The Five Dysfunctions is to management: A peachy piece of fiction, packed with applicable lessons in the most enjoyable format you can imagine. While other systems thinking books are somewhat dry, this one is filled with life, even romance, and well-grounded in reality. While five stars normally for me would mean 'life-changing,' in this case I can't resist because of a rare and wonderful balance between enjoyment, levity, and insight. This type of book, to me, i...more

2nd read-through: I still love this book. Primarily because of its collaborative solution finding process and its vocalness against local optima. Also from a didactic perspective I think this is something we (as people leading teams) should strive for: Enabling peers to make better decisions by themselves via good process.
The references in 'The Phoenix Project' pushed me towards reading this one as well. I really enjoyed listening to the audible...more

Goldratt introduces the Theory of Constraints via this entertaining novel. I think this book is excellent if you are new to Operations. And I think the approach of telling a story rather reading a traditional text book is a good format.
It demonstrates why many traditional measurements and common intuition is wrong. The book revisits what the goal of a business should be and what is important to measure and control to achieve that goal. Through examples in the main character's personal life and...more

(4.5) more interested in application to project development (vs repeatable manufacturing).
I like the approach of 'discovering' the principles behind theory of constraints and how to optimize throughput through a repeatable manufacturing process. Seems quite practical and valuable in just that application.
Trying to figure how this can apply beyond just manufacturing. The latter portion of the book ((view spoiler)[after Alex is promoted to division head and can't optimize a single plant, but needs...more

The Goal, authored by Israeli business management guru, Eliyahu Goldratt, is perhaps the first of its kind in the business-fiction genre (if there was ever one). The novel gives the reader basic principles which can not only be used to effectively manage a manufacturing company by striving towards continuous improvement but also to effectively manage one’s life.
According to the author, The Goal, is about science and education, two words that have lost the kernel of their meaning in the plethora...more
Great insights. I found the writing a bit boring. The interviews in the end were the best.
May 04, 2015Sergey Shishkin rated it it was amazing
This book is fantastic. Not only does it introduce the Theory of Constraints, but does it so as if ToC was invented by the main characters themselves: Revealing the reasoning behind the theory, unfolding each step in a logical progression, highlighting the pitfalls and finally crystallizing the method.
Truly genius.
It is a Fantastic book, full of wisdom and knowledge. For all Industrial Engineers and those who are interested in management trust me and read it :)
I did a bad thing and didn't realize that this was a library book that was supposed to be sent along to them six months ago...so I read it in a weekend and dropped it off on Monday.
It's a good example tale of a problematic plant and how the manager turned it around using what was then different measurements of success (which are now much more standard today). It was mentioned in one of my business classes as a good story example of changing and coming to conclusions about what's working and what...more
I wanted to love this book. I very nearly loved this book. Unfortunately, I read 'The Phoenix Project' first.
I keep flipping between 3 and 4 stars for this. The book deserves 5 for its place in business history, and I flip to 4 for it because it will communicate on a general-purpose level far better than a book like 'Phoenix.'
But having been around people who understood about bottlenecks and the Theory of Constraints (if you don't know what those are, put down this review and go read the book) f...more

I have lost count of the number of people to whom I have recommended this book. Whatever area of management you find yourself in, and at every level from business studies student to CEO and CFO, you are bound to pick up something useful from 'The Goal.'
The story follows the complex life of Alex Rogo as he works at one problem after another. With the help of his old friend, Jonah, he identifies and solves problem after problem, on the road to saving...more

This is a business book, telling the story of a factory manager, and eliminating bottlenecks, and ultimately helping to make money for your company. I liked the story approach of this book (as, lets be honest, so many business books are boring). No, you shouldn't read it for literature sake. Yes, it will give you some ideas on helping to achieve The Goal.
One quick side-note: the audiobook is great, since it has other voices for different characters, background sounds (for when they're walking ar...more
The book is very impressive about the way he discuss the problem and the progressive elaboration for solving the problem. The book is mainly talking about theory of constraints and how to deal with it.
I have never been so excited to finish a book in my entire life. This book is like subpar fan-fic for operations enthusiasts.

At first, I was not sure if this book is my cup of tea, and I got a bit tired of the 'here's your all knowing mentor approach' every other author seems to take, maybe reading too many business novels in a row. Nevertheless, Goldratt's Theory of Constraints is one of the most important concepts to grasp if you're thinking about managing flow and throughput in goal oriented production systems. Although this story is set within a manufacturing environment, its vocabulary can be easily abstracted to...more

The Goal sets out to convey management principles through an engaging story of Alex Rogo, a plant manager, whose factory is on the verge of being shut down and whose marriage is virtually in shambles. On the brink of failure, Alex seeks help from his former professor Jonah, who through the Socratic method makes Alex figure out what's amiss in the plant and puts him on the path to discovery.
Eliyahu M. Goldratt is lucid in his style of writing and the book reads like any other story as opposed to...more

The Goal is a must-read book. It's about a guy who, assisted by a mentor, has saved the production plant from bankruptcy. If you are not in the manufacturing business, you will still learn a lot.
Highly recommended before reading The Phoenix Project.
Mar 04, 2017Vadassery Rakesh rated it really liked it
Literally surprised at how original the book is nearly after 30 years of publication. I feel this is the story of my factory, like the millions across the globe have felt. This is one of those revolutionary books that took the manufacturing and mangement world by storm. The book is worth in gold if you consider the costs it must have saved across the manufacturing world.
Having said that, towards the end the book just drags you. It seems the author wanted to increase the page count to make it mo...more

If there's one thing I'm clear on, it's that I'm very dubious about business novels, in the same way that I am about musical theatre. However you hear The Goal bandied about seemingly endlessly so eventually I caved and got the book. Initially I devoured the book in a mighty rush, then I hit the two additional pieces of material in this edition and struggled through to the end over the course of some two weeks.
The novel that forms the core of the book is very well done. It's crisp and simple pro...more

'Now, this has to be interesting' I said to myself, when I was first introduced to this book, 'An IT guy recommending a book on manufacturing, which is authored by a physicist!!' How the hell am I gonna miss this?
The recommendation to read this book came along in a lecture from a prof, who himself is an IT guy. I got hooked up to this book from the word go.

'What are we asking for? For the ability to answer three simple questions: ‘what to change?’, 'what to change to?', and 'how to cause the changes?' Basically what we are asking for is the most fundamental abilities one would expect from a manager. Think about it. If a manager does not know how to answer those three questions, is he or she entitled to be called manager?' (Page 337)

A seminal work credited for inspiring the genre of 'leadership novels', including some of my fav's 'The Phoenix Project' (IT flavor) and 'The Five Dysfunctions of a Team'. Goldratt demonstrates that even fictional storytelling proves a powerful platform for describing the human dimension of leadership as well as the scientific processes and critical thinking models often dryly outlined in organizational psychology texts. The story focused on manufacturing with long descriptions of productivity,...more

Part of my annual read/listen to list. By far the best business improvement book on the market. I was pleased to see it on my new boss's desk! I know people who really poo-poo 'business fiction' and many poorly written ones may be out there, but with The Goal, the story is so real and the critical thinking skills are so prevalent that you cannot help but get pulled into the story. The whole time you are learning the scientific method behind Theory Of Constraints and are being taught the Socratic...more

This was a very unique, interesting little book. The author has developed 'The Theory of Constraints' (which is a factory that can produce a product only as fast as its slowest bottleneck) and put it in novel form in order to explain it to the average worker. Lots of food for thought.
I see that bottlenecks exist all around us, not just in manufacturing. We move forward in finances, careers, projects, etc. only as fast as our weakest link will allow.
The key is to be able to identify constraints,...more
This one gets super reviews but I'm at best lukewarm about it. It's an early example of the 'teach business principles through a novel' genre. In this case, the bumbling plant manager gets whacked over the head by his Israeli physicist friend until he figures out that flow through his plant is more important that keeping everyone busy. You'd think that the piles of inventory choking things off would have been a clue. There are things to learn here, but they could be taught in half the size, with...more

Often characterized as unconventional, stimulating, and “a slayer of sacred cows,” he urged his audience to examine and reassess their business practices with a fresh, new vision.
Dr. Goldratt is best known as the father of the Theory of Con...more
