The Goldratt's Theory of Constraints

The Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a management approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the single most limiting factor—the "constraint"—that prevents a system from achieving higher performance. By improving or elevating this bottleneck, the overall system’s output increases. Once the constraint is resolved, attention shifts to the next limiting factor. This cyclical process helps organizations optimize productivity, reduce delays, and improve efficiency by continuously focusing on areas with the greatest impact on the entire system's success.
