The plot of the book "The Goal" is about a manager responsible for one of the factories of a large corporation being charged for the poor results of the unit, which is compromising the business as a whole. Pressured by the need to present positive results in three months, the manager goes in search of solutions. In the casual encounter with an old college colleague and now a physicist , the trail that will lead the manager to solve his problem begins.
Shortly after reporting the problems of the factory he runs, the manager is asked about his notions of productivity and goals. Productivity is defined as anything that helps a company to approach its goal. That is, if an action brings the company closer to its goal, it is productive; otherwise, no. The goal setting is even more straightforward: a company's goal is ultimately to make money.
That simple. Of course, as the authors Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox affirm, this will need to be broken down into increased net income, return on investment, or even cash flow. Continuing to be surprised by the concepts adopted by his unexpected consultant, the manager is introduced to a new vision about the company. Thinking about how to achieve the company's goal, the authors Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox expose the flow of money in three different measures:. Note that this classification of measures offers an interesting insight into the accounting and the internal constitution of a company.
An interesting example cited in the book "The Goal", which expresses this statement well, is the use of robots at certain stages of the production process. Because there was no adjustment in the processes, the simple introduction of robots didn't bring the gains that the company expected. The activities to which the robots were assigned didn't represent process bottlenecks. As a result, robots produced a lot, but that didn't speed up the process as a whole.

He turns back to the television, and I spend another valuable thirty seconds fantasizing about bashing his head in with my purse.
Worth it. In the kitchen, Nana is sitting at the table, smoking a cigarette and reading an issue of People. There are usually street punks congregating on the stoops of the narrow townhouses on our less than affluent street in this less than affluent part of Southie.
Besides, our carport is behind the house. I clench my teeth again and turn to face my grandmother. And there it is. Her head jerks up from the magazine and her eyes narrow as she takes in my black knit skirt, black short-sleeved sweater with a scoop neck, and three-inch heels.
I can see the words forming in her mind before they even leave her mouth. Going off to that fancy college of yours? You got classes on Saturday night?
