Fiction, about a guy who runs a failing factory, and via as series of dialogues with a mysterious mentor and his team, figures out how to transform it into the star plant in the division. I was a bit sceptical about the story format, but it really works - an entertaining and yet highly educational and elightening introduction to Theory of Constraints (TOC) - basically all about identifying and attacking bottlenecks in your production process. Superb.
The graphic move is faster to read than the novel, but I missed the depth of character that the novel provided. This version is missing the characterization, and thus it's missing some of the soul of the original work.
First read this in the 1980's. Lot of lessons here, even for software development.
