E.M. Goldratt

E.M. Goldratt was a management consultant and author renowned for developing the Theory of Constraints (TOC). This approach focuses on identifying the single most limiting factor (or "constraint") that restricts a system’s performance—such as a manufacturing process or project. By improving or removing this constraint, overall productivity and efficiency can be significantly enhanced. Goldratt emphasized continuous improvement and strategic thinking, encouraging organizations to optimize the entire system rather than merely local parts. His ideas, like those in his book "The Goal," help managers make better decisions to achieve faster, more sustainable success.
