The Goal

“So this is the goal: To make money by increasing net profit, while simultaneously increasing return on investment, and simultaneously increasing cash flow.” That's a goal anyone in business would love to achieve, and this book will teach readers how to get there. The Goal uses simple reasoning as a tool to teach the Theory of Constraints (TOC) by presenting the theories in the form of a novel. The TOC, a methodology created by the author, is the underlying foundation of the story. TOC can be described simply: finding constraints and managing them. Readers will learn how bottlenecks like slow deliveries, long cycle times, and loosely controlled operations can be systematically identified and corrected by using the right tools.
