Bragg, M. Steven

 

Throughput Accounting:

A Guide To Constraint Management

-

The best Throughput Accounting book so far. It mainly answers the question 'What is TA?' but does contain practical applications.

 

Caspari & Caspari

 

Management Dynamics

-

Dr John and Mrs Pamela Caspari clarify constraints -  "sifting through the masses of business data and make sense of it all". The book distinguishes Constraints Accounting from Throughput Accounting but they are actually one and the same thing.

 

Corbett, Thomas

 

Throughput Accounting

-

Excellent book about Throughput Accounting basics. The second book (after the Dougdale book) about Throughput Accounting. A must for any Throughput or Constraints Accountant.

 

Cox, James F - Spencer, Michael S - Cox, James F III

 

The Constraints Management Handbook

-

Not reviewed but recommended by a reliable source.

 

Dettmer, H William

 

Breaking the Constraints to World-Class Performance


 

-

Not reviewed but recommended by a reliable source.

 

Dugdale, David - Jones, T

 

Accounting for Throughput

-

One of the first publications on Throughput Accounting backed by CIMA. Terminology is somewhat outdated but the basics are still very applicable.

 

Godfrey, Michael R - Bandy, D Brent (This is an Article)

 

Applying Little's Law And the Theory of Constraints : An article from: ASQ Six Sigma Forum Magazine

-

Recommended for anyone wanting to understand the link between Little's Law and TOC. A simple basic law far too often ignored or misunderstood.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

Beyond The Goal

-

A must read for anyone wanting to invest in new technology who has already read The Goal three times.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

Critical Chain

-

Highly recommended for project management people.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

It's Not Luck

-

A follow-up to The Goal.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

 The Goal

-

Absolutely necessary reading and studying. More that 3 million copies sold.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

The Goal audio CD or audio tapes

-

Great for people that commute or stuck in traffic.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

The Goal video tapes

-

If you can't read the book, see the video in under 1 hour. Excellent dramatization of the story, really driving home the points. To get the best from The Goal, read the book first, then watch the movie.

 

Not available from

 Amazon.com

Price is approximately

 $600.00

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

The Haystack Syndrome

-

This book is for the person that really wants to do it properly. Contains major paradigm shift thinking and is a must for both beginner and advanced TOC people.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

The Haystack Syndrome audio tapes

-

The book was professionally recorded.

If you are able to read, buy the book instead.

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

Production The TOC Way

-

The book could have been one of the greatest TOC training books if it wasn't for the poor use of the English language and shocking grammar. However, it is excellent for those that can look past this and it has a CD with a software simulator (same as in: Manufacturing At Warp Speed).

 

Goldratt, Eliyahu M

 

Self Learning Program

Finance and Measurement

-

A CD presentation for PC and part 2 of the Self Learning Program. Well animated and good explanation of basic principles.

 

Not available from

 Amazon.com

Price is approximately

 $200.00

Goldratt, Eliyahu M - Fox, Robert E

 

 The Race

-

The beginning of Drum Buffer Rope, process improvement, synchronous manufacturing, and more. All in point form and excellently written with illustrations and a quiz. Very under-rated.

 

Jeffry Liker

The Toyota Way

-

Excellent explanation of the psychology in Toyota.

Explains Lean as used in the Toyota Production System as well all the TPS principles.

A 'must' for anyone wanting to understand the thinking behind Lean. Fundamentally excellent.

 

 

Kendall, Gerald

 

Securing the Future

-

One of the best comprehensive looks at TOC from someone who really studied it thoroughly.

 

Kendall, Gerald

 

Viable Vision

-

A must for anyone wanting to understand Goldratt's Viable Vision projects and solutions.

 

Kinsey, Jeff (SKI) - Bennett, Thayer

 


 

Purple Curve Effect

-

Adapts for immediate use by individuals, entrepreneurs and even those working in the trenches of large organizations.

 

Nagel, Thomas T - Reed K. Holden - Reed Holden

 

The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing

-

Excellent book. Same principles as used in Throughput Accounting. Also links well into the Theory Of Constraints.

 

Noreen, Eric - Smith, Debra - MacKey, James T

 

The Theory Of Constraints and its implications for Management Accounting

-

Sponsored by the Institute of Management Accountants and Price Waterhouse. This book comprises case studies of how TOC worked for them but lacks in details.

 

Ptak, Carol - Schragenheim, Eli

 

ERP

-

Not so much about Enterprise Resource Planning as expected, but well written and more about shortening lead times in supply chains.

 

Schragenheim, Eli

 

Management Dilemmas

-

Very well written. Especially appropriate for reading after having read The Goal.

 

Schragenheim, Eli - Dettmer, William

 

 Manufacturing at Warp Speed

-

Enough can not be said about this excellent book which comes with a CD and software for a mini plant. The software included is tough but illustrates how policies and many conditions affect net profit. A must for any business that has unlimited internal capacity as it explains S-DBR (Simplified Drum buffer Rope).

 

Smith, Debra

 

The Measurement Nightmare

-

Highly recommended for financial people. Not what an accountant would expect. Difficult to grasp but the message is there.

 

Srikanth, M L - Umble, M M

 

Synchronous Management

-

Two volumes of fundamental reading for constraints management in manufacturing environments. The basics of TOC are somewhat oversimplified but TOC is based on this and it is truly the way to go.

 

Stein, Robert E

 

Re-Engineering the Manufacturing System

Applying the Theory of Constraints

-

Easy to read and explains implementing TOC in manufacturing extremely detailed and well. Not for the feint hearted. For the real pro's and members of the 'Haystack Second Half Club'.

 

Swain, Monte

 

The Theory of Constraints and Throughput Accounting

-

Basic and concise. Recommended as a beginners guide. Simple examples. Easy to follow.

 

Woeppel, Mark

 

A Manufacturer's Guide To Implementing TOC

-

This is a very important book that should be in the library of every person wanting to make a success out of TOC. Mark has excelled in explaining TOC very clearly. Highly recommended for anyone battling to understand the concepts of TOC.
