The Haystack Syndrome
by Dr Elyahu Goldratt.
"We are drowned in oceans of data: nevertheless it seems as if we seldom have sufficient information". Starting from this assertion the first part of this remarkable book looks at the measures of success, debunks some common cost accounting measures and suggests some more global alternatives. The second part considers what is required of the architecture of an effective information system and the final part deals in detail with the scheduling problem. Not an easy read, but a goldmine nevertheless.

It's Not Luck
by Dr Elyahu Goldratt.
As Alex Rogo, hero of The Goal and now promoted to executive vice-president of UniCo, grapples with problems at work and at home, we begin to understand the full scope of Eli Goldratt's powerful techniques. These were first presented in The Goal, the book that has already transformed management thinking throughout the Western world. The Goal told the story from the eyes of Alex Rogo while he struggled to find the solutions to save his plant. It's Not Luck looks from the eyes of a Jonah. It reveals more of the Thinking Processes and moves beyond The Goal by showing how to apply them on a comprehensive scale.
This book will challenge you to change the way you think and prove to you that it's not luck that makes startling improvements achievable in your life.
