I have one review copy of John Rickett's new Theory of Constraints book "Reaching the Goal" to give away, compliments of the publishers.
Congratulations to Grant Boston, who won the book.
Here's my quick review:
TOC has an outstanding record in manufacturing and here Rickett's has cleverly adopted the TOC applications and thinking to suit service industries. I know TOC well, I work in the services industry, and I've learned a lot from reading it. It is not (imho) an easy book for TOC newbies. I'd have liked a few more concrete examples - my mind works that way, and I hope John will add those in the 2nd edition. It's a very good book - I suspect in a year or so once the ideas have sunk in and I've tried them - that I'll be describing it as a classic.
If you'd like a free copy ... then leave a brief comment below and on Tuesday morning (GMT) I'll pick the winner (randomly ). If you are the lucky winner then I'll contact you for your details and then I'll ask the publishers to post the copy out.
