One of the best Theory Of Constraints websites in the world by Kelvyn Youngman

One of the best Theory Of Constraints websites in the world by Kelvyn Youngman | Theory Of Constraints | Scoop.it

"Kelvyn Youngman has done the organizational world an invaluable – no, indispensable – service with this web site.  This is the first comprehensive, truly system-level look at the Theory of Constraints." One of the website's recommendations by  H. William Dettmer, recognized Expert in TOC, author of 4 bestselling TOC books.

Philip Marris's curator insight, July 30, 2021 1:54 AM

Kelvyn covers all of the Theory Of Constraints. The name "dbrmfg" is historical (he started it focused on TOC in production). The website is for example strong in the Thinking Processes and Logical Thinking Process among many other TOC topics.

This website is unfortunately not "responsive" so you will have difficulty viewing it on a smartphone. But the content is exceptional. I recommend you take the time to visit Kelvyn Youngman's website using a computer.

One of the main CCPM reference books currently (2015).

Jan Rey's curator insight, July 6, 2018 6:49 AM
Gerald Kendall and Kathy Austin wrote significant compendium for modern Multi-Project Management. Traditional approach to Project Management , based on based on Critical Path, causes multilevel pressure, local focus on thin sliced tasks and inability to recover time,  remains unchanged in their fundamentals. 
Advanced Multi-Project Management focus attention on perfect readiness before execution start. The aggressive planning of significant tasks (with check list in place of details in low level tasks) with precise definition of IN Entry Conditions and Task OUT-comes (definition of DONE).
Several ongoing projects resources are balanced in "what-if?" Analysis to define the sequence of realization with maximum speed. 
You have a chance to make one of the best investments in your professional career!
Six gears of successful multi-project management are fully presented, together with how-to suggestions.

For me it remain hardto understand that so few people embrace the principles of TOC and really see the enourmous positive impact its application has not only on the business process itself but on the effectiveness and culture of the organization.
