5.0 out of 5 stars (Un ) commonsense, Aug 8 2000

By	B.Sudhakar Shenoy (India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars How to Get Your Company To Use TOC, Feb 23 2004

By	Erik L. Koski (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has recieved mixed review, likely because it isn't so much an explaination of TOC or how to do TOC, as it is how to get your company to use TOC. The book explains how TOC fits into the bigger pictures of science, organizations, and business. Then explains how to introduce TOC into a company so it will be supported by top management with enough force to obtain "critical mass" and become part of the organization. If you use this book to properly introduce TOC to your company, it will be very helpful. If you use this book for any other purpose, you will most likely be very disappointed.
