Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Every organisation faces constraints which may seem insurmountable. The Theory of Constraints argues that the number of constraints is limited and can be identified through the application of a robust and logical thinking process. Having found the constraint, developed the solution and the implementation plan, it would appear that the organisation has solved the problem, but this is often not the case. This innovative book describes the author's investigation into the surprising fact that often the expected results do not materialise once companies have identified the way forward.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-154) and index.
