Throughput Accounting

Thomas Corbet provided the connection which brought it all together for me on the T.O.C. thinking process. All of Dr. Goldratt's books created the base of my knowledge, but "Throughput Accounting" is the one that tied up the loose ends of that information. For the first time since my studies of the Theory of Constraints began, I feel comfortable speaking with others about the thinking process. Prior to reading this book, a number of people challenged my view on cost based accounting; now I understand enough to speak with confidence. By itself, "Throughput Accounting" is excellent material and will help plant managers make informed decisions without the need for extensive cost accounting data. Together with the knowledge gained through other books on T.O.C., this book can help any organization reach unprecedented levels of improvement.

Libro muy bueno

The book was good, and a different spin on how to look at costs in a manufacturing plant. I think it over simplified certain areas by assuming only material costs are variable, but overall it was a good book.

This book will make sense to those who have studied cost accounting and those, like me, who have not. Until this book, I was perplexed by cost accounting. The principles espoused in Mr. Corbett's book vindicates the instinctive objections I had to traditional methods.

Just as described!

Can't believe it's used. Love it!

It is a good and useful book

I have read TOC Handbook, Throughput Accounting by Steve Bragg, Measurement Nightmare by Debra Smith,.. about this subject. I feel accumulating data day by day. It was like five fingers but not a hand which I could not grab anything. After reading this book I had a spark in my head and realized that now I can use cumulated data, it become information, like a real hand this time. Moreover I had listed my questions before reading. This book has almost covered all my questions !! It brought some other questions as well. I have tried to reach the author with the contact details given in the book but unfortunately I could not reach him. I have tried internet search, North river press,.. and failed again. Fortunately TOCICO helped me to find the author and he was very kind to answer all my questions. I like the book, slim and brief style, nice examples, pin points, practical. I believe this book is a good starting point for non-financial managers to understand accountants reality and provides a very good opportunity to discuss with them for mutual understanding. I admit at least this was our case in our company and now we are trying to transform usual periodical reporting to TA style. Utkan Uluçay
