This paper examines in depth how manufacturing organizations in the United States are not as profitable as can be, by looking
at management, integration human factors, technology and facility available to achieve near perfection. The paper debates along with the authors of the book, "The Goal" by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Fox, the different approaches to making profit, by increasing throughput through sales while reducing the inventory and the operational cost of the organization. The paper uses the Toyota Company as an example of these ideas. Table of Contents Abstract Introduction Methods and Discussion:
