A Review of Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (TOC)
Lessons from the international literature

The Power of Cause and Effect
What does 2009 hold for an electronic sub‐systems manufacturer?
Last week, we spent time with a group of top managers of a Japanese company, a large electronic sub‐ systems manufacturer. It quickly became apparent to them that they have to answer the biggest business question they ever faced. Can it be that almost everyone is grossly misreading the current situation; the newspapers, the investors, and even the most practical and experienced people – the top managers of the large companies?...
