The Goal

The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement preserves the source's 40-chapter business-novel arc. It follows Alex Rogo, Jonah, and the UniCo/Bearington plant through late orders, bottleneck discovery, the Herbie scout-hike insight, NCX-10 and heat-treat constraints, throughput/inventory/operational-expense thinking, controlled material release, batch-size reduction, accounting conflict, plant recovery, market constraints, and the five focusing steps.
