 What every engineer should know about manufacturing November 26, 2008
Doesn't matter what kind of indusstry you work. If you are an Engineer, or industrial manager, you must read this book, because it's a romance where the author describes the routine of an Industry, the day-by-day activities, pressure, problems, people vanities, etc. I strongly recommend "The Goal" to my friends engineers.
I didn't read yet, The teory of constraints neigther Crictical chain.
Review for the goal November 18, 2008

 I bought a business book and a Novel broke out November 15, 2008
For the person that prefers novels to business books this is probably a great resource for learning. As an avid reader of business books, it was hard for me to get through. After listening to, I couldn't read it, I went back to skim read it and try to understand the details to the Theory of Constraints. I guess that's my next read because based upon the raves, there is something I'm missing in the way the story is told.
An easy read, and worthwhile November 13, 2008
I enjoyed the book, and it was an easy read. Not much is really directly applicable to what I do but I enjoyed the modeling of, and abstractions around, an old business---even if nothing particularly earth-shattering is surfaced. Some of the narrative was a bit hokey, but none so much so that it made me want to stop reading.
I agree with others that this is good to have read, and helps to inform a solid operational and organizational theory.
