2007, Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Jeff Cox, Cel I.: Doskonałość w produkcji. T. 1, mintbooks, →ISBN, page 3:W tym zakładzie wszystko jest opóźnione. Na podstawie obserwacji powiedziałbym, że jeśli chodzi o priorytety, zakład ma cztery grupy zamówień: pilne, bardzo pilne, nie cierpiące zwłoki i na wczoraj. Po prostu nie nadążamy ze wszystkim.- In this plant, everything is delayed. Based on my observations, I'd say that when it comes to priorities, the plant has four groups of orders: urgent, very urgent, needing to be done now, and "do by yesterday".
