Review – Theory of Constraints

Theory of Constraints

Theory of Constraints: What is this thing called Theory of Constraints, and how should it be implemented? Eliyahu Goldratt. North River Press, 1990.
Let me give my rare thumbs down review (usually I just ignore the ones I don’t like). I enjoyed The Goal a lot, but was totally disappointed by this book. Thirty of the 160 pages are copied from that book. The rest reads like an ad, with little technical material. Add in poor copy-editing and you have a disappointing combination.
