When you start reading this book, you would be wondering what is it that the author wants me understand from this book. Would I need to go through the rigours of knowing how a factory functions or how the finance department functions before I try to read this book?
Well, the second point may be true to a certian extent, but it is not a impediment if you really want to learn from this book.
The book does not exactly deal with manufacturing or finance but it has used those as a tool to describe the essence of the book ''GOAL''
The book has also clearly and explicitly stated that what has been discussed can be used widely and even in our personal lives. Hence the essence of the book is ''Revist the fundamentals periodically and constantly monitor if the assumptions still hold good''
The ''Don't fix it if it isn't broke'' is not the best policy and might not be good in teh long run.
I have resisited the temptaion of telling the plot of the book. This book is definitely one of those books which have to be read at a measured pace and one of those which make us think.
