The Goldratt Theory of Constraints

The Goldratt Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a management approach that identifies the most limiting factor (constraint) preventing a system from achieving its goal. By focusing on improving or addressing this constraint, organizations can significantly boost overall performance. It involves steps like identifying the bottleneck, deciding how to improve it, and ensuring the whole system aligns to support these improvements. Essentially, TOC emphasizes that optimizing the weakest link in a process can lead to substantial advancements in productivity and efficiency.
