Goal (book)

"The Goal" by Eliyahu M. Goldratt is a business novel that introduces the Theory of Constraints, focusing on improving manufacturing and operational efficiency. It follows a plant manager, Alex Rogo, working to save his factory from closure by identifying and addressing the bottlenecks that limit overall productivity. The book emphasizes that, to improve performance, organizations should focus on optimizing the weakest links in their processes rather than individual components. Its practical approach helps managers understand how to streamline operations, increase throughput, and align efforts toward achieving the primary goal of business success.
