Theory of Constraints Paperback – December 1, 1999

If you have not read any of this man's books you are seriously missing out. My husband had to read a couple of his books for an MBA class and he hates reading novels so he turned it over to me to give him the basic points of the book. The books were so good he even read them and so I bought this for him for christmas. You learn so much from these books; there's so much you can apply directly to your own workplace and life in general. So glad I bought this.

basically a summary of the book "the goal" which is a story. It extracts and takes a closer look at business principles of constraints. I work in manufacturing so I found it applicable to my work.

Its a little smart for my taste but on the second read it becomes much clearer as to what Goldratt is trying to depict. Its a great illustration of where to move resources in modern manufacturing today, and that your problems are not always what they seem.

Academia has always criticized Dr. Goldratt’s work because it lacks academic rigor or statistical data to prove the idea works. In this book, Eli tries to explain the scientific thinking behind his development of TOC. He describes the difference between physical constraints and their causes. He also explains why his Thinking Processes are necessary for root cause analysis of constraints. This book is a must-read to understand the theory behind TOC.

Como todos los libros de Elihayu Goldratt, este es uno más que vale la pena leerlo.

I am a fan of the methods used by Goldratt. I read his books again and again and never got bored.

OK, we all read this book, and “The Goal” in the 90’s.I just read it again. This is one of the few business books that have survived my twice-per-decade book weed-outs. I’m glad I kept it. Keep thinking. Keep thinking.The second half the book becomes a labor, but the first half is still great.

This book seems to be a collection of small articles. The concepts and information are very relevant. The only downside is - it seems like some subjects are glossed over, and im having a hard time connecting the dots. Good read though.
