While not as readable as Goldratt's "Critical Chain", it contains more of the information needed for actual implementation. This includes good explanations of project, feeding, and resource buffers, and of the critical chain concept itself (as distinct from the critical path in standard project management). Newbold also ties critical chain project management into theory-of-constraints production scheduling.
