Eliyahu Goldratt - Theorist

Eliyahu Goldratt was an Israeli physicist and business consultant best known for developing the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy aimed at improving organizational performance. TOC posits that every system has a limiting factor (or constraint) that hinders its overall efficiency. By identifying and optimizing this constraint, businesses can enhance productivity and profitability. Goldratt also popularized these ideas through his novel "The Goal," which illustrates TOC principles in a relatable story. His work emphasizes critical thinking and systematic problem-solving to achieve continuous improvement in operations and decision-making.
