Plant manager Alex Rogo has ninety days to turn around his failing factory before the company closes it. Guided by a mentor named Jonah, Alex learns the Theory of Constraints: find the bottlenecks, keep them working and stop overloading everything else. A Boy Scout hike, where slow, overloaded Herbie sets the pace for the whole troop, illustrates the lesson, and lightening his pack speeds everyone up.
