About this title

Synopsis:

An interpretation of Elkiyahu M. Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC), a system improvement philosophy focusing on logic and identifying the weakest link in an organization in order to, as the author states, "manage the living daylights" out of it. Dettmer introduces TOC, defining the concepts of categories of legitimate reservation and TOC thinking processes while illustrating current, future, transition, and prerequisite trees depicting the system. In addition to a perusal of these basic concepts in the management theory, the author outlines applications in conflict resolution and group dynamics. Includes flow charts.
