Eliyahu M. Goldratt (Physicist)

Eliyahu M. 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. Goldratt posited that every system has at least one limiting factor that hinders its goal. By identifying and addressing this constraint, businesses can optimize their processes and increase productivity. His influential book, "The Goal," illustrates TOC concepts through a fictional narrative, helping professionals understand complex production and operational challenges. Goldratt’s work has significantly impacted various fields, including manufacturing, project management, and operations management.
