After an overview of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and the types of constraints that exist in any organization, the reader is led through the step-by-step process of the two foundational thinking methods on which the Thinking Processes are based.
The reader can then use the book as a field guide, learning the five processes as needed, based on his or her own particular issues.
"Explaining the Thinking Processes
accurately in writing is a very
challenging task.
To choose examples
that make this technical subject alive to
a broad spectrum of people is even
more difficult.
In this book Lisa
succeeds in these two daunting tasks.
She actually succeeds in doing it in a
particularly enticing style. My hat’s off
to her. I’m recommending this book to
anyone who wants to learn more about
the Thinking Processes. I even
recommend it to veteran ‘Jonahs.’"
--Eliyahu M. Goldratt
