About the Book
“Echoes of Theory of Constraints (TOC)” is a carefully selected anthology of the most valuable TOC Articles contributed by well-known and respected TOC authors from all over the world.
It’s ideal for the TOC enthusiast, whether new to TOC or an expert in TOC practice.
I’ve all found seams and traces of TOC gold scattered all over the web – echoes and extensions of the magnificently simple and profound concept so well-articulated and conveyed by Eli Goldratt.
“Echoes of TOC” gathers some of the best of these echoes together into a single easily accessible resource that you can refer to when you want to be reminded of an insight or to browse occasionally to refresh and extend your own mastery. It will also help to grow your clients’ insights into TOC, making it easier for you to help them capitalize on those insights even further.
If you are a TOC enthusiast, practitioner or expert, Echoes of TOC will make a valuable addition to your library and potentially be the key to growing your clients’ grasp of the huge benefits of the constraint-focused approach and philosophy.
