Eliyahu M. Goldratt (Author)

Eliyahu M. Goldratt was an Israeli physicist and management consultant best known for developing the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy that focuses on identifying and addressing the most limiting factor in any process to improve overall performance. His notable work, "The Goal," is a novel that illustrates these concepts through the story of a manufacturing manager trying to save his struggling factory. Goldratt's ideas emphasize the importance of understanding systems as a whole and improving operations through strategic thinking, which has influenced business practices and decision-making across various industries.
