The Race

I love this book and I periodically re-read it. It's a classic. I like it more every time I read it.Each time I re-read "The Race", the depth of my understanding increases. My grasp of the early pages is good and I'm still working on mastering Drum Buffer Rope. The more you know about Theory of Constraints, the more the initial sections will seem like review, but I find it an excellent outline.For those try to prioritize their continuous improvement projects, I highly recommend mastering the Drum Buffer Rope concepts."The Race" is not "The Goal". It's in a totally different format, so do not expect a dramatic, business novel. In fact, the format of the "The Race" is unusual and unexpected, so keep and open mind, but I find it very effective and I would not change it a bit.The early pages motivate continuous improvement and the importance of reducing inventory. The explanations are thorough, but in 2013, I do not think that the manufacturing community in the Western hemisphere needs to be convinced of the importance of these concepts like it did in 1986!I highly recommend reading this book, but only after you are thoroughly motivated to apply the concepts that "The Goal inspires.

Does an excellent job of expanding on the Drum-Buffer-Rope concept and application first mentioned in The Goal. It's a quick read that doesn't dive into the details of exactly how to identify constraints and other operational issues, but that makes it perfect as an introduction.

Yet another fine book by Dr. Goldratt. This was more of a detail oriented book about the Theory of Constraints; but to be honest, I did get more out of Goldratt's The Goal. There is something about business novels which really grab my attention; they make learning more of an experience than simply reading theory. Had I read The Race without reading The Goal, I most likely would have recommended this book. Having read both, if I had to make a single recommendation, I would go with The Goal and pass on this one.

Really good follow up to The Goal.

Product was as described and shipped in a timely manner.

A great continuation by Goldratt as he explains more and more about the reality of our world in simple terms. Read 'The Goal' first though as that is the master piece, where the rest are the icing and layers of this amazing man.

A quick guide to jump start productivity in your factory

A great summary and index of the TOC methods and perspectives.

The book arrived on time and in good nick so was pleased with that. I have read this book and it does what it says on the box, it is essential reading for managers and consultants and you should repeat reading the content until you know it off by heart. My personal recomendation is that you buy all the books by Goldratt and read them all several times to drive his principles of TOC home.

Fantastic!

Very useful and practical book. Love it.

Excellent book, amazing authors, learn about company, it's tactics for success and strategies for a recipe to succeed all in the form of case studies of real firms and short lessons easy to grasp and entertaining to read. Better than earlier book - the goal and more reader friendly

Per chi è interessato a Goldratt personalmente ritengo che altri titoli (The Goal, What is this thing called Theory of Constraints) siano migliori di questo
