Deming and Goldratt

Deming is the common denominator between Lean, 6sigma and TOC. In this book main concepts have been emphasized and presented as a guide for implementation. Frankly it is not too much different than ordinary 5 focusing steps with an understanding of TOC flavour. Here is the decalogue:1. establish the goal, units of measurement, operating measurements2. understand the system3. make the system stable4. identify constraint, carry out 5 focusing steps5. implement buffer management6. reduce variability of constraint7. create a suitable management structure8. eleminate external constraint, sell the excess capacity9. bring the constraint into the organization whenever possible10. set up continuous learning programI think reading this book is fun, not reading is not a big loss..

It's challenging to follow sometimes, and probably easier to take a class on this and then read - but great concepts and hopefully something I can wrap my head around for my own business.

Good book about trying to blend two great systems for running a business. Falls a little short but it's a good effort.

Deming and Goldratt is well summed up in the Ten Steps of the Decologue PDF. easily found on the Internet.

Just as Described.

Better than expected....

Very good book. I was there when Deming and Goldratt actually met - it wasn't as exciting as I had hoped.

I have direct experience using this book as well as being trained coached and mentored by one of its Authors. The synthesis of the theories of Deming and Goldratt put forth in this book are well worth reading as you may find inspiration and usefulness in your own endeavors, I recommend it.

This book arrived on time and in good condition. Having read it twice once as an overview and the second to take detailed notes. I found it to be a great book that goes into immense details on both subjects. I would imagine that I will be reading this and all the other Goldratt / Deming books time and time again until I fully understand and can use the philosophies and techniques perfectly.

All on quality that you need to know as an employee after knowing it by rote in college. Or if u just know out of experience, then this is the hook that balances both sides, brush up your basics and reach your working expertise too - if that's your aim, then that's what the book helps you do. A great read to relish for days and cherish for projects

Not as great as I expected it to be. It's average.
