		Each country has its own rules about accounting for inventory; this article concentrates on economic theory, United States financial accounting rules, and Eliyahu M. Goldratt's throughput accounting.
		Eliyahu M. Goldratt developed the Theory of constraints in part to address the cost accounting problems in what he calls the "cost world".
		He offers a substitute, called Throughput accounting, that uses throughput (money for goods sold to customers) in place of output (goods produced that may be sold or added to inventory) and considers labor as a fixed rather than as a variable cost.

	Critical Chain by Eliyahu M. Goldratt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Comment: As with the Goal, the concepts that Goldratt uses to proselytize are a subtle mix of concepts that are on the border of being completely natural to the reader.
		This is not to say that the concepts that Goldratt brings forth aren't interesting, valid or usefull (especially when effectively tied to other management concepts), but it is to say that you won't get anything useful out of this book, aside from a desire to attend one of his seminars.
		It is true that Goldratt's ideas could be stated in twenty pages or so, but he is very wise and intentional in not giving away the answers.

		Goldratt’s frustration with the lack of wide-spread acceptance of OPT brought him to the decision to pursue a non-traditional approach to educating the prospective buyers.
		Goldratt founded the Avraham Y. Goldratt Institute, named after his late father, as the means of developing and disseminating the message contained in The Goal.
		Goldratt verbalized the steps of a process of ongoing improvement in what he has come to call “The Five Focusing Steps.” Goldratt (1992) The Five Focusing Steps are: Identify the constraint.

		Nevertheless, I came away from the book feeling that Goldratt knew his theory would only run about twenty pages of text if written in plain layman form and decided to turn it into a 340 page novel in order to have enough pages to get a publishing deal.
		I also felt that Goldratt's followup at the end of the book ("My Saga") seems to be written merely as a defensive explanation as to why his theory failed to work in some cases.
		Ultimately, in trying to ease concerns about failures with the system, Goldratt leaves the reader with a feeling that perhaps his theory is not worth the trouble implementing.

	Software Dioxide: Project Scheduling According to Dr. Goldratt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Goldratt in his book “Critical Chain” has provided a number of insights on how estimation and scheduling is done and used these to come up with areas that need to be thought about — this article discusses these.
		Perkins starts with describing how estimates are actually a set of probabilities associated with various possible values.People typically provide the average or the modal value of this probability curve when asked for an estimate.
		Perkins next describes Goldratt’s criteria for measurements and how projects suffer from a false sense of schedule security due to inappropriate project management metrics.

		Goldratt writes that a process with many stages will have both statistical fluctuations and dependent resources.
		The concepts of Goldratt (usually called the Theory of Constraints) seeks to work with these inherent attributes.

	It's Not Luck
		In The Goal, Goldratt's primary focus is on the a-pplications of what he calls a Theory of Constraints (TOC) to the manufacturing process.
		Goldratt applies the "Rogerian Model" to countless situations in this book, suggesting that conflict resolution is the result of sustained effort and patience, not luck.
		With all due respect to the core concepts Goldratt examines in this volume, they are worthless unless and until embraced by everyone involved.

		Goldratt provides insight as to how a great amount of schedule safety is incorprated into project plans, yet teams succeed in wasting the safety until they experience schedule overrun.
		Goldratt lists three mechanisms they do use to insert safety into time estimates for almost every step of the process.
		Several of you are probably saying to yourselves, "We already know the problem, what is the solution?" The solution is to rethink how projects have been managed in the past, and to apply the results of that rethinking.
