The father of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) passed away on June 12 at 67 years of age.
Eliyahu was the popular author of The Goal amongst many other books. TOC grew to become one of the important hinges of Lean principles.
In The Goal he practically narrated how he had to surmount an almost hopeless operational position of his factory when he was posted to turn around a factory in his home town where he spent his childhood. He was an ace performer where he was and the company felt he would rise to the occasion and revive the ailing factory. His discoveries, leanings, success and thought patterns are clearly narrated in a rare style in THE GOAL.
May his soul rest in peace.
If you have not read THE GOAL, please try and do so before the end of the year. You will not regret doing so - you'd be shocked that you rarely have come across his style of explaining concepts. Let me know your opinion when you do.
