The Theory of Constraints and its Implications for Management Accounting

By Eric Noreen, Debra Smith, and James T Mackey

 

The philosophy of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) has been well-articulated, but what we don't know is how well TOC has been applied in practice. What problems are encountered in practice? What success stories are there to tell? To answer these questions, the Institute of Management Accountant's Foundation for Applied Research sponsored the first in-depth evaluation ever of TOC, based on investigations at 21 U.S. and European companies. The results of this evaluation are now available in The Theory of Constraints and its Implications for Management Accounting, written by three highly motivated Management Accounting academics who carefully explore the pragmatics of TOC implementation. Includes actual case studies from organizations who have benefited from TOC.
