This independent research by
authors at PriceWaterhouse found that the Theory of Constraints-based approach to
manufacturing management first outlined in "The
Goal", could and does outperform the better known "Just In Time" and MRP 2
philosophies.
The book explores the implications
for Cost Accounting in light of the rethinking that the Theory of
Constraints forces in traditional accounting thinking in manufacturing.
(Dr Goldratt has long campaigned against the basic tenets of Cost Accounting. He
points out that any appropriateness in its use when it came into being at
the start of the twentieth century, was lost long ago. He argues that Cost
Accounting concepts drive the wrong behaviours and the importance given to
metrics such as utilisation levels, is damaging the commercial performance
of manufacturing organisations). As a note; Activity Based Costing (ABC) as
an alternative approach also needs to be treated with suspicion.
For a general discussion of the problems of traditional Management
Accounting, see the book "Relevance
Lost: Rise and Fall of Management Accounting".
