Summary: Un magnífico libro
Review: Aborda con una claridad y sencillez pasmosas un tema del que prácticamente no existen referencias escritas. El apéndice dedicado al empleo de los procesos de razonamiento en la estrategia es una auténtica delicia. Creo sinceramente que se trata de una lectura obligada para todos aquellos interesados en las aplicaciones de TOC no sólo en el desarrollo de los sistemas de información de las organizaciones sino de la propia estrategia.

Summary: Best of the Best
Review: As the CEO of a company who has invested much time and resources to the (TOC) Theory of Constraints Management Philosophy, one thing kept coming back around to frustrate our implementation efforts. It was that of making the bridge from our current methods of measuring our performance and GAAP accounting system to that of TOC measures and TOC accounting. By this book, Debra Smith has given us the tools to do just that. I was sufficiently impressed with the contents, that I made it mandatory reading for all managers, from the CFO down to the shop foreman. This single book has managed to succulently illustrate what it took volumes in other publications to do. In short I highly recommend, and consider it must reading for both beginning and seasoned proponents of the Theory of Constraints Management Philosophy.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Getting to the core of the problem
Review: The book focusses on the root problem behind all those dysfunctional metrics around us. It explains very clearly (also for people not trained in financial jargon) how the wrong focus on the wrong metrics in the top of the organization can have impact on the complete organization and may impact negatively the quality of decisions throughout the company.

Very much recommended!

Summary: Great Material - Difficult Read
Review: This is an excellent book if you are serious about TOC. It covers the basic how-to subjects currently in the liturature, and goes into new territory showing how to reconcile Management/Throughput Accounting with GAAP Acounting. Despite the great material I have two complaints: 1) The book is difficult to read due to the small font and wordy style 2) The book fails to recognize the existance of Lean Manufacturing and Six-Sigma tools that could break the dilemia presented about sprint capacity and buffer size. The second issue is one that any experience practitioner of Lean/6-sigma will easily recognise and correct.
