Eliyahu M. Goldratt (Management Guru)

Eliyahu M. Goldratt was an Israeli physicist and management consultant best known for developing the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a methodology aimed at improving organizational performance. Goldratt argued that every system has at least one limiting factor, or "constraint," that hinders its overall efficiency. By identifying and addressing these constraints, businesses can enhance productivity and profitability. He popularized his ideas through the novel "The Goal," which illustrates TOC principles through a narrative. Goldratt's work has significantly influenced modern management practices, emphasizing a systematic approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.
