jThinker is a free software, so everyone can use it! Moreover, it's so free that everyone can develop it as well!

However, to use it effectively you should know the Theory of Constraints ideas, without them jThinker is just a tool for drawing boxes. So, here I list several TOC books that I value high myself.

  • Eliyahu M. Goldratt. Theory of Constraints. The fundamental book on application TOC to manufacturing processes. Includes the reference of thinking processes diagrams and all other stuff you'd better know for effective use of jThinker.
