The performance of a business can be greatly improved by closely managing a few key bottlenecks (constraints) within the organization. Constraint Management is a valuable resource for locating and managing these constraints. It does so by describing the impact of constraints and how they can be managed to optimize profitability. The text includes discussions of where the constraint may be located, how constraint analysis compares to traditional cost accounting, and how to design measurement, reporting, and control systems around a constraint. There is also extensive treatment of financial modeling around constraints, as well as how to develop constraint-based strategies. In short, this book is an invaluable guide to enhancing the performance and earnings of your business.
