Theories of Constraints

Theories of Constraints (TOC) is a management approach focused on identifying and addressing the single most limiting factor, or constraint, that prevents a system from achieving its goals. Once the constraint is identified, efforts are made to improve or eliminate it, allowing the entire system to perform better. It's based on the idea that every system has one primary obstacle, and optimizing around that constraint yields the greatest overall improvement. TOC fosters a continuous process of recognizing bottlenecks and making targeted changes to enhance productivity and efficiency.
