Narrative:

The aircraft's thrust management system was placarded inoperative. This meant throttle control would be manual the entire flight. Upon initial level off; the thrust was left at climb power and the aircraft speed exceeded vmo. I was in the crew rest seat in the cabin on my regularly scheduled break when this occurred. I was not aware it occurred until I returned to the flight deck after my break and was informed by the captain and first officer.when aircraft systems are degraded; all crew members could remain in the flight deck until stable at cruise.
