Production the TOC way Goldratt, Eliyahu M. - Revised edition - Madras Productivity and Quality Publishing Pvt. Ltd. 2003 - 93 p. With CD at Acc. No. CD1619
The Goal was a runaway best-seller with many managers totally identifying themselves with Alex Rogo, the hero in the story. Many tried to implement the revolutionary management principle, The Theory of Constraints, unsuccessfully, with a few exceptions. While most readers could perceive and agree with the "common sense" of The Goal, they nevertheless had difficulty implementing the Theory of Constraints, for they could not identify the real constraint - they continued to try to improve everything they knew how to improve, they continued to justify investments based on cost calculations, they continued to make decisions based on product-cost impact. However, they continued to ignore the fundamental difference between a transfer batch and a process batch, they even continued to measure efficiencies and variances. And this was done even in companies where the President made The Goal mandatory reading! (http://www.pqp.in/scart/ProductionTheTOCWay.aspx)
