Whisky, Sushi, Systems & Flow
Whisky, Sushi, Systems & Flow
About the Book
This book challenges you to think about everyday implicit systems and flow parameters. On it, you´ll read about the following: my whisky bar, my plane boarding skills, the traffic jam on a weekend beach trip, and my frustration while waiting for a temaki on a Japanese restaurant. These examples will guide our conversation about flow parameters, systems thinking, theory of constraint and queues.
