Summary
Working hard, but still can't keep up?
This short, insightful book will teach you how to speed up at work by slowing down, looking at your workplace slightly differently, then thinking a little.
Spoiler Alert
The world's best manufacturers have known the secret for decades: Every workplace, big or small, has one resource that is slower than the rest. It’s called the bottleneck. Find it, speed it up, and your entire workplace speeds up.
The problem is that although this secret is well known inside manufacturing, it's been hidden from the rest of us, deep inside complicated manufacturing texts and sophisticated computer algorithms. Until now, that is. Clarke Ching, author of Rolling Rocks Downhill, has spent the last 20 years adapting and simplifying manufacturing's techniques so that everyone can use them, no matter where they work.
In this book, he reveals the surprisingly simple process - called the FOCCCUS Formula - that you can use to find your bottleneck, then manage it. The book takes roughly 90 minutes to listen to, and most listeners figure out where their bottleneck is before they've finished. Listen to The Bottleneck Rules today, and you'll start running faster tomorrow.

Ching does it again, for fans of Rolling Rocks Downhill, The Goal, ToC. Really like how it's brought to life through storytelling, and can also highly recommend the regular podcast.

Practical introduction to improvement
Clarke Ching does a great job at showing how the powerful ideas of TOC that Goldratt introduced can be used by all of us, in our day-day activities. Of course TOC has the greatest impact when applied system-wide, but that is not the focus of this book.
It is also a risk when you suggest reworking something like the 5 Focusing Steps of TOC, into the more memorable FOCCCUS formula. I prefer the even simpler FOCUS variant that I came across via David Hodes. But that is a minor comment. If a nice mnemonic helps introduce the powerful ideas of TOC to more people, I'm all for it.
Overall it is a readable introduction to process improvement.

waste of time
I loved "The Goal" and can't recommend it enough. this feel like a bit of a knock off, says similar and even in a similar way. nothing new. rather invest in The Goal.
