Write a book report on “The Goal” by Eliyahu M. Goldratt
1. What is the goal?
2. Which two plant areas were the original bottlenecks? What were the other constraints that emerged?
3. What efforts were made to increase flow through the bottlenecks?
4. Explain how the emphasis on cost efficiencies contributed to the plant’s problems.
5. If you were Alex and had covered the concepts that you did this term, what would you have done differently?
6. How does “The Goal” define a bottleneck resource? Develop your own simple example of a bottleneck to demonstrate. (Not the examples from the book, not artificial examples!)
