Goldratt and Deming, are arguably two of the most influential business thinkers ever. This book melds statistical process control, and the Theory of Constraints, finally bringing these techniques together in one book. You'll gain a basic understanding of both SPC, and an intro to the Theory of Constraints (TOC), and Goldratts' Thinking Processes (TP). In addition to presenting the tools for process control, measurement, and continuous improvement, the book provides brief bios of both Deming and Goldratt, giving the reader insight into the background of both. Very good book, and a great compliment to other TOC material.

At last a book on these two great thinkers. The combination of the Deming system and the Goldratt TOC process is perfect for keeping a management balance. This is a HOW TO DO IT BOOK not another FEEL GOOD book of slogans. Read it, think about and read it again. Give it to your people to read. This is the real thing.

The best combination of the priciples of Dr.Deming and Dr.Goldratt.For the first time ideas of, two of the greatest management minds of this century has been combined and presented in a "read and implement" manner.

The book gives you a step by step approach to using The Theory of Constraints(ToC) and The Profound Knowledge of Dr.Deming in your company.This book is best suited for people who have read ToC and are unable to understand Deming's theory or are just starting to learn about the theory.

Overall a good book.

You may find it hard to believe, but this book actually teaches manager how to improve their business performance. Don't be afraid to spend your time reading it and enter Deming & Goldratt world, because it works.

The Theories of Deming and Goldratt have been around for many years, and despite their common sense and demonstrated success (e.g. Japan), companies struggle to embrace and implement. This book lays out a methodology for how to run a business that is consistent with these theories and allows them to flourish. It not only contains a practical approach for implementation, but it also addresses some of the difficulties companies have had in transformation.
If America wants to be competitive in this world economy business would be wise to consider the theories and tools that Deming and Goldratt offer and this book sets the cornerstone.

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.

A complete path to achieve control and understanding of a "process". You can go deeply inside problems and find out that is not so hard to solve them: you must only want it ! Be ready to open your minds....

Anyone who wants to be considered a "Manager" can't avoid to read Lepore's book without enthusiasm. But this is nothing compared to what you can feel applying Decalogue's teachings to the day by day activity in a company. Especially when you see they work!
