I really enjoyed that book and how it attempts to simplify the nature of common supply chain constraints.

You probably know this already, but if not: Eli Goldratt (the guy that wrote that book) wrote an equally brilliant academic paper on the same subject - I think the title was ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’. Just passing it on in the event you’re looking for a good follow-up read.

Yes!

The paper is in the appendix of the book.

Where the book is a story and does not mention Lean Management, Toyota, and Taiichi Ohno, "Standing on the shoulders of giants" is a clear description of TPS (Toyota Production System).

It's awesome how the two varied styles of writing describe the same "thing". Where the "thing" is "how to operate efficiently".
