" Excellent book to help understand how bottle necks and covariance impact any operation, whether a factory or an office. "

" When my Accounting professor assigned this book to us, I admit I was quite skeptical. However, Eli Goldratt got me thinking about production and bottlenecks in a whole new way. This wasn't an easy read for me then and maybe not even now, but I think it was rather informative. "

" Had to read this for a class in business. I really enjoyed reading it. Really easy reading and fascinating and yet such a simple idea. It made me look at the practical things in life in terms of bottlenecking and figuring ways around it. "

" Must read for anyone going into manufacturing or majoring in Industrial Engineering. Learned a lot about the way a manufacturing plant works while being entertained by the drama in the story it's self. "

" Best "management" book I have read. Great real world examples of Theory of Constraints in action and the novel format works well. "

" One of the readable book on production process and how to improve. Reads like a story book - I read it in one sitting in Johor Bahru on a Saturday. "

" This book explains business very well along with a great story-easy to understand. "

" As a story this book is sort of awful. As a case study for business, it is really good at portraying how the theory of constraints is used. I have used the principles in this book a ton in my career. Worth the read if you don't want to read his other things. "

" I could not put this book down. It's a great illustration of operations challenges, and a great quick read. "

" I learned about bottlenecks at the ending was really lame. "

" Must read for every person associated with manufacturing industry "

" I read this a few years ago. It had some useful concepts, and the story made it less dry; however like most of these kinds of books that are trying to explain a message wrapped in a story, the story and especially the dialogue are weak. "

" Good book considering I had to read it for work... Great if you work n a manufacturing environment or service based business.. "

" This seems to get recommended a lot. It's a really good starting point into the whole systems thinking / lean topic. "

" Easy to read with easy to understand ideas. Find your bottlenecks and work them only-by-one... "

" Best "management" book I have read. Great real world examples of Theory of Constraints in action and the novel format works well. "

" Pretty technical book but pretty easy story to read. Using operational examples this applies to much of business... If you can make the transition it's an awesome read. "

" The book is closely coupled to the manufacturing industry, but many of the principles addressed are almost universally applicable. There were several times when it seemed like the author was describing execution problems we have in my software engineering department. "

" Not sure why I picked this up- it is a novel in format but a business school textbook in reality. That being said, I enjoyed it as something different and have implemented one of the techniques on my children. Seriously. Kind of. "

" I don't remember if/how much swearing this book has, but it's a manufacturing textbook so I had to read it. It does do a great job helping you understand efficiencies and throughput. "
