- STATEMENT ON MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
- comprehend the underlying principles of TOC
- understand the various elements of TOC
man- agement systems

- comprehend the underlying principles of TOC
- PRINCIPAL KEYS FOR UNDERLYING TOC
- Processes/organizations as chains
- the weakest links can be found and strengthened
- the weakest links can be found and strengthened
- Cause and effect
- All systems operate in an environment of cause and effect
- All systems operate in an environment of cause and effect

- TOC management systems
- Logistics/scheduling.
- Performance measurement.
- Built around the core metrics of throughput, inventory, and operating expense

- Problem-solving/thinking process.
- Project management.

- facilitation of strategic marketing and
opera- tional decisions
- application of continuous improvement at the supply
chain level
- decreased production lead times
- The Five-Step Focusing Process
- Step 1. Identify the system’s constraints.
- Step 2. Decide how to exploit the constraint
- Step 3. Subordinate everything else to the above decisions
- Step 4. Elevate the constraint(s). Add capacity or otherwise change the status of the original
resources
- G Step 5. Return to step 1. Don’t let inertia become the new constraint
- Step 1. Identify the system’s constraints.
