Theory of Constraints is an important development in productivity management. It helps in planning productivity improvement projects on machines and operator on priority bases. It helps in budgeting of IE projects and studies. All productivity engineering outputs are to be used in TOC projects or improvements or injections.
My comments on a LinkedIn Post regarding TOC
Narayana Rao KVSS

Productivity is the focus of TOC. If organizations are doing productivity management, TOC is an important principle and bundle of practices to be used. But it is dependent on all other productivity improvement methods like process chart analysis, operation analysis, productivity device design etc.
John Allan Loucks Thank you for the comment and question. The focus of the book "Goal" is on explaining what is productivity and how to increase it. I am developing an essay on TOC now and revising my earlier notes. May be I can present a better case of my statement after some time.
If productivity is to be improved, TOC provides a concrete focus. To improve a bottleneck facility or a process, you need to use all available productivity improvement methods. Goldratt did not argue against them. He highlighted that bottleneck facilities have to be improved first to derive the goal related benefit. If you improve other facilities or processes, no immediate benefit will accrue to the system.

Has Industrial Engineering formally ignored Theory of Constraints Based Productivity Improvement?

Theory of Constraints - Principle, Theory and Bundle of Practices in Productivity Management
Productivity Improvement and Productivity Management are not taking place effectively. So thought, Eliyahu Goldratt. He studied the issue and came out with a solution. The theory named, theory of constraints.
Goldratt actually helped a friend producing chicken coops to increase productivity.
He developed a computer package based on that solution name OPT. He explained the logic of OPT package through a novel - The Goal.

Books on Theory of Constraints
The World of the Theory of Constraints: A Review of the International Literature
Victoria J Mabin, Steven J Balderstone
CRC Press, 29 Nov 1999 - Technology & Engineering - 240 pages
The Theory of Constraints (TOC) - as developed by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt - has seen a rapid expansion since the publication of his book, The Goal. As with most fast growing areas, you can quickly feel out of touch with new developments. The World of the Theory of Constraints provides a summary of recently published research on TOC.
The authors explored databases, and sought out papers and books drawing on as wide a range as possible. Aside from the works by Dr. Goldratt himself, the authors focus on items published since 1990, highlighting the most recent developments in TOC. The scope of the material covers works containing specific reference to TOC, including Synchronous Manufacturing and Constraint Management.
The book is organized into three sections. The first section contains an analysis and interpretation of the results of the search. The second provides abstracts on all the material. The third supplies author, keyword, and subject indexes along with a list of books, journals, websites, and publishers.
Extensively researched and referenced, The World of the Theory of Constraints furnishes comprehensive material on TOC. The multi-search approach has made this arguably the most exhaustive bibliography on this subject available. If you are researching TOC, this is the best place to start. If you use or teach TOC, you will want this resource.
Manufacturer's Guide to Implementing the Theory of Constraints
Mark Woeppel
Lulu.com, 3 Aug 2010 - Business & Economics - 174 pages
There are, today, many good books on the Theory of Constraints, or "TOC". These books, however, generally focus on explaining the details of TOC. But subject matter knowledge alone is not enough, if you want to actually use TOC in business. You must also have a valid roadmap for implementing it. This book provides it. Throughout the book, you have the concrete and actionable voice of a successful TOC consultant leading you to understand how to implement TOC in a manufacturing organization. The book also provides examples of various charts, forms and procedures that you can use as patterns for the materials you will need in your implementations.
Theory of Constraints: Creative Problem Solving
Umesh P. Nagarkatte, Nancy Oley
CRC Press, 27 Nov 2017 - Business & Economics - 314 pages
This book is on application of TOC in educational institutue. Especially in mathematics course - student retention.
This book was written to assist professionals and students to become proactive in their own education, improve thinking, resolve personal and interpersonal conflicts, improve pedagogy, manage departmental affairs and guide administrative decisions. The text captures the practical experience of the authors with and formal training in TOC to address many of the issues facing today’s education stakeholders.
The text is designed to teach methods for 1) "win-win" conflict resolution, 2) decision-making, 3) problem solving, and 4) analysis of systems using TOC’s powerful logic-based graphical Thinking Process tools. A creative thinker can identify, plan and achieve his or her goals just knowing the Thinking Process Tools.
