The Goal, By Eliyahu M.

Given three months to turn the plant around, Alex turns to Jonah, his old college physics professor who has become a manufacturing consultant, and enlists his help. Jonah has a unique and potentially risky approach to addressing the problems at the plant. First, he takes what can be a complicated

The main character in “The Goal”, Alex Rogo, manages a production plant that is unprofitable and not efficient with its resources. Alex is given a short amount of time to turn the operations at the plant around and make it an efficient, successful production plant. Throughout the book, Alex Rogo speaks to Jonah a number of times and learns a great amount of information from him. The first significant time that Alex and Jonah spoke was during their chance meeting at an airport lounge. During this conversation, Alex learned a great deal about productivity and goal setting. Jonah explains to Alex that a company has one goal and that the manager must be open about the goal. Jonah then discusses the definition of productivity with Alex and tells him that the true definition is bringing a company closer to its goal that it has set. Among these concepts that Alex learned, he also learned more about his own management style and how it could be improved. Alex learned that he must question common concepts regarding managing and that he must think differently in order to be successful.

At this point the factory is operating at a capacity like never before. They have been shipping a record number of orders in a record amount of time. All of the orders past the shipping date have been completed and shipped. They are now shipping current orders on-time and early in in some cases. Now that the plat is responding better to market demands, Alex can focus on sales throughput, and gets the division sales manager, Johnny Jons, to market his plant's improved capacity. Together they manage to tie down a major contract

There is a recent form of prophetic interpretation known as Islamic End-Time Theory. This view was made popular from the book, Middle East Beast by Joel Richardson. The basic premise is that the last kingdom Daniel prophesied as the ten toes of the statue in chapter two and the fourth beast in chapter seven is an Islamic kingdom ruled by an Islamic Antichrist, considered by Muslims as the Mahdi.

In Slam, Dunk, & Hook, by Yusef Komunyakaa, the speaker explains how he and his teammates play basketball and it does to them. Through his use of juxtaposition, enjambment, and repetition, Komunyakaa reveals the thematic ideas of cooperation and struggle against the many adversities of life.

Throughout world history women have been treated abysmally. Societies with male-dominance have abused and used women and continue to do so today. Women have been made vulnerable to a man due to the spread of cultural values and beliefs in society that condemn them from power. In Khaled Hosseini's novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, the two main characters Mariam and Laila develop an unconditional bond in which they become each others protectors. The immense inner strength of women from adversity has been exemplified through the growth of Mariam and Laila's contrasting relationship, the pain they endure from Rasheed which strengthens their bond and the courage within them that ultimately resolves their conflict.

The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt is an entertaining and thought provoking business book. The story is about Unico manufacturing plant and its manager – Alex Rogo whose job and marriage is hanging in the air. Bill Peach, who is the factory executive comes into the plant and notices that production has gone down since Alex has been appointed manager. There is six months of production backlog and late shipment of order to customers. Unico is neither productive nor profitable. As a result Alex finds himself in an uncomfortable position of having three months to turn things around or the plant goes downhill.

Khaled Hosseini presents the struggle Afghan women go through every day by discussing honour, marriage and the place of women in society in Afghanistan.

There is a recent form of prophetic interpretation known as Islamic End-Time Theory. This view was made popular from the book, Middle East Beast by Joel Richardson. The basic premise is that the last kingdom Daniel prophesied as the ten toes of the statue in chapter two and the fourth beast in chapter seven will be Islamic, and the Antichrist will be a Muslim and likely be seen by Muslims as the Mahdi.

The goal of a manufacturing organization is to make money. Jonah poses this as a question: "What is the goal?" and Rogo actually struggles with it for a day or two, but any manager or executive that can't answer that question without hesitation should be fired without hesitation.

The Goal a Process of Ongoing Improvements was Dr.Eliyahu M Goldratt first book. It is a fiction business management novel that primarily focuses on the theory of constraints. The author Goldratt is a critical acclaimed Israeli business manager, physicist professor, and author. He is thought of as the guru of business operation. Goldratt is the creator of optimized production technique and the theory of constraints. He also is the author of the following books: Production the TOC way, IT’S Not LUCK, Critical Chain, Necessary but not sufficient, ISNT It Obvious, The Choice, The Race, What is This Thing Called: theory of constraints, and The Haystack Syndrome.

A seed contains all the information necessary for its fruit to reproduce and flourish. In 1984, the late Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt wrote The Goal, a novel that contains a theory with principles and techniques that have been the catalyst for the operational success of companies and organizations around the world. How did a book, written to support a scheduling system developed by Goldratt to help increase production at a neighbor’s chicken coop plant (Naor, Bernardes, & Coman, 2012), become required reading in companies and universities worldwide? This paper unpacks Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (TOC) and examines the event that led to its discovery: a business executive’s decision to pressure a plant manager to ship an order by day’s end and turn around the plant’s fortune in three months.

These two bottlenecks constrained the whole process. Alex and his colleagues were happy to identify two "Hebie"s, NCX-10 and Heat Treatment Department, which bottlenecked a flow sufficient to meet demand and make money. So the only thing to do was to find more capacity. To increase the capacity of the plant was to increase the capacity of only the bottlenecks. To increase the capacity of bottlenecks did not mean to install new machine, but to find the hidden capacity. With the help of Jonah, Alex found the NCX-10 had 1-hour idle time, as the union contract stipulated that there must be a half-hour break after every four hours work. The hours lost in the breaks of NCX-10 were enormously expensive because the throughput for the entire plant had been lowered by the bottleneck. The problem of the second "Hebie", heat treat, was that they didn 't make the bottleneck work on the parts contributed to throughput and many products were unable to be shipped without the parts in pile for treatment. What was more, they only did most inspections prior to final assembly but never inspected the parts before bottleneck. It easily let defects go through bottleneck and lost time in the bottleneck could not be recovered. The cost of one hour lost in these two bottlenecks is the cost of an hour lost in the system, which is computed as the total expense of the system divided by

I read the fictional book called, The goal: A process of ongoing improvement by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff cox. Goldratt has an extensive history of writing novels about business problems and their solutions. His list of work includes; The race, The haystack syndrome, What is This Thing Called Theory of Constraints and How Should it be Implemented?, It’s not luck, critical chain, and necessary but not sufficient. With his most recent work being in 2009 called Isn’t it obvious focusing on retail. The authors purpose for writing this book would be to educate and show examples on how to think outside the box or solve solutions, possibly even save companies. In his own words, “This book is an attempt to show that we can postulate a very small number of assumptions and utilize them to explain a very large spectrum of industrial phenomena” (Goldratt, Intro to revised edition page 2). He states he wants to show that these methods aren’t fantasy and have been/are working in pants around the world, and says that, “Finally, and most importantly, I wanted to show that we can all be outstanding scientists. The secret of being a good scientist, I believe, lies not in our brain power. We have enough. We simply need to look at reality and think logically and precisely about what we see” (Goldratt, Introduction page 2). This story is about a failing or close to failing manufacturing plant in a place called Bearington. The novel begins with the main character Alex Rogo, a
