"The Goal"

Paper Summary:

From the Paper:

"The purpose and significance of this book has everything to do with throwing out old, out-dated ideas of manufacturing (production), and listening to new ideas. On page 65, the author is staying briefly at his mother's house in order to be closer to his old friend Jonah, something of a guru on business, production, and leadership. He doesn't go see his mother that often because his wife doesn't like going there, but this is a sign that he is desperate for some advice from Jonah. The conversation the narrator has with his mother (65) is a huge statement as to what this book entails philosophically: "Alex, what's wrong?" she asks, and it may as well be the reader asking the narrator what is wrong with his manufacturing plant. "Come on, you can tell me. I know something's wrong. You show up out of the blue on my doorstep, you're calling people all over the place in the middle of the night..." "See Mom, the plant isn't doing so well...and, ah...well, we're not making any money."
