In this intriguing business novel, which illustrates state-of-the-art economic theory, Alex Rogo is a UniCo plant manager whose factory and marriage are failing. To revitalize the plant, he follows piecemeal advice from an elusive former college professor who teaches, for example, that reduction in the efficiency of some plant operations may make the entire operation more productive. Alex's attempts to find the path to profitability and to engage his employees in the struggle involve the listener; and thankfully the authors' economic models.

W. Edwards Deming details the system of transformation that underlies the "14 Points for Management" presented in Out of the Crisis. The "Deming System of Profound Knowledge", as it is called, consists of four parts: appreciation for a system, knowledge about variation, theory of knowledge, and psychology. Describing the prevailing management style as a prison, Deming describes how applying the System of Profound Knowledge increases productivity, quality, and people's joy in work and joy in learning.

Great book didn't like narration style
Five star content. My only criticism was on the narration. Narrator's voice was pleasant, but she read words like quote and end quote and open parentheses. It was very distracting from topic and, ironically, added waste to the book.

I could not listen to the narration of this book because of the Siri like format. The narrator has a great voice and reads well but includes the words "begin quote, end quote, open parenthesis and close parenthesis" - it might have been ok on occasion but the author uses a lot of quotes and parenthesis.

Idiotic Narration is distracting from the content
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The content of this book is quite good but it is diminished by the way it was narrated, who reads a book and actually reads, start quote! end quote!, start parentheses! end parentheses!. This is idiotic and annoying and very distracting from the content.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Maybe the Author should step in and focus on constant improvement and listen to customer feedback, sack the narrator and find someone who can read the content then this book may become a much higher rated book. Using the combination of ISO, Lean and Six Sigma is a great idea for an improved business process.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Beth Bostic?
Anyone who can read without commenting on the quotes and parentheses!!!!! The tone of your voice should make for the meaning from the Author.....
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
When its all said and done the content is quite reasonable.

One of the first lean books read
I have been in organizations of which I embraced lean, however always wondered why I still hear from those within who do not embrace. Is this a reflection of poor trickle down from half-vested management, or is there just always going to be acceptable resistance?
