About this listen

Marc Wilson is not giving up. He is determined to turn around the struggling family company and keep it, despite his father's decision to sell. The problem is that they are late on more and more projects and their customers won't tolerate it anymore. Marc is looking everywhere for a solution, when in one of his MBA classes he comes across a unique approach that views operations in terms of flow.

The concept of flow is straightforward. It's easy to visualize the stream of projects going through the system and understand that if something clogs the flow, the projects pile up; the lead time gets longer, and as a result the reliability of due dates suffers. What is not so easy is to uncover the specific obstacles that obstruct the flow and figure out how to remove them.

Whether you're a manager in engineering, IT, service, or sales, this book will help you gain much better predictability and significantly improve your delivery.

Very useful reminders of why we need to shift our thinking away from "getting the parts right" and towards how the whole process runs. I liked that the in-class examples came from across a wide range of industries.

This ain't Shakespeare, but it had plausible characters and a consistent plot, which carried the points nicely.

One minor comment: The reader was clear and very consistent, but had a distracting way of emphasising words. Example: reporting clauses after direct speech were often made to sound like new sentences. This was a minor thing, but at times it broke the flow of narrative. Irony?

Nice and concise summary of what works
