Robert P. Goldratt

Robert P. Goldratt was an Israeli physicist turned management thinker, best known for developing the Theory of Constraints (TOC). TOC is a management philosophy that focuses on identifying and addressing the single biggest limiting factor (constraint) that prevents a system from achieving its goals. Goldratt’s approach helps organizations improve efficiency and productivity by systematically finding and resolving bottlenecks. His ideas have been applied widely in manufacturing, project management, and business operations, emphasizing continuous improvement and strategic thinking. His influential book, "The Goal," illustrates these concepts through a compelling story of process improvement.
