FAQ

Where can I learn about Theory of Constraints?

If you're asking that question, this project has done its job!

• TOC Institute's intro
• Forum: TameFlow Circle - Where friends of Herbie meet
• Book: The Goal by Eli Goldratt
• Book: The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim
• Video: Herbie and The Goal on Craft vs Cruft
• Video: Conflicts Don't Exist on Craft vs Cruft

How do this project's goals compare with Flying Logic?

Flying Logic is the most advanced tool available for TOC Thinking Process diagramming, and we don't aim to change that. As concurrently conceived, our differentiators are:

Entry level: If you are collaborating with people new to TOC, it's unlikely they will buy a proprietary tool to get started. A free online solution for simple use cases will help introduce them.

Textual representation: A text format enables version control, generating multiple output formats, and potentially correlating multiple diagrams together as in Logical Thinking Process.
