A number of years have passed since the writing of The Goal. Since then, developments in both technology and operations-management theory have changed the toolset that is available to a plant manager like Alex Rogo (e.g., lean, six sigma, the internet, etc.).
Write a 3-5 page paper in which you do the following:
1. Discuss how the availability of newer tools might have affected the choices and priorities on which Alex focused.
2. Determine if Alex's goal would have been the same in light of these new tools.
3. Discuss what Alex would bring to the challenges he faced that are absent in the Goldratt & Cox text.
4. Determine where he might have applied new ideas and/or what ideas he might have discarded.
