Theory of Constraints
Behind this link you may find the gist of Dr. Goldratt's "Theory of Constraints [38 KB]
" nicely explained in chapter 11 of his novel "Critical Chain"
When will "new technology [30 KB]
" create value ? Dr. Goldratt, C. Ptak and E. Schragenheim in Chapter 12 of their novel "Necessary But Not Sufficient"
"Empowerment" as seen by Dr. Goldratt
Here is a text database [1.449 KB]
of what I have collected from the web (and edited) so far regarding Dr. Goldratt's Theory of Constraints
WARNING : this database is > 1MByte ! It is mainly in English with some German sections mixed in between. The different topics are all preceded by a "+( " string. The "+( " topics are sorted alphabetically. My intention to post this here is to share info with those interested in the Theory of Constraints. My intention is not to break copyrights which I hope I did not do in the first place.

For those interested in project management : an excellent article by Lawrence Leach explaining "Critical Chain Project Management [486 KB]
" describing a way to cut project leadtimes while at the same time protecting the overall probability to deliver the project on time.
I have collected concepts and simulations with which to explain the stochastic nature of project management :
- a presentation with instructions for simulations around project management - the sixy game [5.204 KB]
- a resource spreadsheet [74 KB]
to simulate and record task durations through rolling of dice
- a spreadsheet with which to simulate different strategies to protect a project plan [85 KB]
(as described in the PPT above)
Credit goes to Dr. James R. Holt for making his lectures availlable to the public domain.
