Learning The Theory Of Constraints

3 July 2003

In August of 1991 I read a revised edition of The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. It carried a copyright date of 1986. This edition has 273 pages.

On the shelves at the bookstores today is the Second Revised Edition. It’s dated May of 1992. This edition has 337 pages.

What changed? The new Second Revised Edition still says the price of Bill Peach’s Mercedes was approximately $30,000 – a bargain to say the least!

The GoalKidding aside, I want to really learn the Theory of Constraints (TOC). Frank Patrick’s methodology and consulting practice seems to have been built with TOC as its cornerstone. I want to learn more, but – as with most things – the key is in separating signal from noise. What are the best resources for learning TOC?

There are 174 reviews of this book at Amazon.
