Book Reviews of Theory of Constraints
Book Review: (Un ) commonsense
Summary: 5 Stars
Commonsense is said to be not very common! Hence this book and the theory that can be put to use to achieve dramatic results. One question that a reader is likely to encounter in reading this is whether to read "The Goal" before reading this book. I feel that it does not matter as long as you finished reading both. In fact Mr Goldratt relies heavily on several chapters of "The Goal" to illustrate the theory.Whatever the nature of business, Throughput, Operating Expenses and Inventory are the parameters on which managers grabble with and try to gain control. Theory of Constraints (TOC) puts all these in an excellent framework, defines their relationship and suggests methodologies for achieving globally optimal solutions for the Organization.
Excellent reading ; revisit this book when in doubt!
Summary of Theory of Constraints
Theory of Constraints walks you through the crucial stages of a continuous program: the five steps of focusing; the process of change; how to prove effect-cause-effect; and how to invent simple solutions to complex problems. Equally important, the author reveals the devastating impact that an organization's psychology can have on the process of improvements. Theory of Constraints is a crucial document for understanding what it takes to achieve manufacturing breakthroughs.Leadership Books
