The Goal

Book • 1984
The book tells the story of Alex Rogo, a factory manager who is given three months to improve his underperforming plant or face its closure.

With the guidance of his former physics professor, Jonah, Alex learns to apply the Theory of Constraints to identify and manage bottlenecks in the production process.

Through this approach, Alex and his team transform the factory, improving efficiency, reducing inventory, and increasing profitability.

The novel uses the Socratic method to teach fundamental business concepts and emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement and critical thinking in management.
