Summary:
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.

Theory of Constraints (by Eli Goldratt)
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
I have now read seven of Dr. Goldratt's books in the last few weeks. This was the first. I think it clearly presents this management philosophy, although you will need to look to other resources for help with things like higher level planning, such as Goldratt's article on Stratgy and Tactics 2002.
Even if you never use it, everyone in business needs to at least understand how the "Theory of Constraints", "Critical Chain Project Management", "Socratic teaching", and Goldratt's "Thinking Process" works.

Theory of constraints
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
A very good book, explains the principles of TOC in a different way. However, I enjoyed "The Goal" more.

Don't Buy This Book
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
"The Goal" was a great book but Goldratt is trying to continue to cash in on that success with this book. It is remarkably poorly written and an absolute waste of time. Not one new useful piece of knowledge in this book.

How much repetition and advertisement do we need to pay for?
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
After reading this book I felt that I paid some good money for repetition, advertisement and teaching of how to get your company to send you to do some course work. This is not what I was looking for.

Loved it - for software development!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Software development is much like discrete manufacturing--as I learned from this great book. It's a tiny bit cheesy but the writing is ultimately effecting in cementing strong lessons for project and corporate management.
