Throughput Accounting addresses all of the accounting aspects of constraint management. A constraint is the bottleneck operation that keeps a company from expanding its business. The book shows how to locate the constraint (not always an easy task), as well as how to ensure that usage of the constraint is maximized to enhance profitability. This simple concept impacts a huge number of accounting areas, including the proper treatment of product costing, margin analysis, overhead costs, scrap reporting, variance analysis, inventory valuation, pricing decisions, capital budgeting, product cancellations, control systems, performance reporting, and a great deal more. Constraint management is an important conceptual area, and all management accountants should be very familiar with its implications on the accounting function.
