Book Reviews of The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement

Book Review: Best Business novel that you can't put down.
Summary: 5 Stars

I was assigned this book as part of my Operations and Supply Chain Management course in MBA. I must admit it was refreshing to see a business book that didn't feel like a text book. It's a great book. Business lessons conveyed in a plain and simple real life scenarios. Anyone who is interested in running a business, executing a project or simply managing a household can benefit from this book. Once you start you simply can't put it down. Goldratt has done an awesome job with this book.

After reading this book, whenever I hit a roadblock in any of my projects, my brain starts on 5 steps starting with what is the constraint and how do I relieve it. I don't manage a factory, rather some high tech projets in avionics industry. And I feel lucky having read this book.
