I really struggled finishing this book. The topic and theory of constraints was interesting; however, I found the sentences to contradict themselves often and things to be generally unclear. The section about the history of science which was used to provide more authority to the management theory being promoted was completely unnecessary and I believe inaccurate.

This is another difficult yet enlightening read. A paradigm shift from thinking that inventory is good and long runs of a product (i.e. lack of turns) is efficient. Made my bookkeeping classes become unimportant, and detrimental in todays manufacturing processes.
The book is dictated and typed out, which is apparent from the lack of structure in it. It is mostly a marketing thing about why theory of constraints is so great. Better not buy this one, but start with 'the goal' or a course in Theory of Constraints.
A good complement to The Goal, but assumed you've already read that one. Some parts read like a sales pitch for the Goldratt Institute. Thought provoking. Me very time I read Goldratt I find something new I can apply at work - so I keep reading.

Not my favorite Goldratt book, but a good synthesis of the concepts of his other books.
