A Brief description of TOC

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is an overall philosophy developed by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt, usually applied to running and improving an organization. TOC consists of Problem Solving and Management/Decision-Making Tools called the Thinking Processes (TP). TOC is applied to logically and systematically answer these three questions essential to any process of ongoing improvement:

• "What to change?"
• "To what to change?"
• "How to cause the change?"

More specific uses of the Thinking Processes can be used to significantly enhance vital management skills, such as:

• Win-win conflict resolution
• Effective communication
• Team building skills
• Delegation
• Empowerment

TOC postulates that the goal is to make (more) money. It describes three avenues to this goal:

• Increase Throughput
• Reduce Inventory
• Reduce Operating Expense

Dr. Goldratt's Theory of Constraints is being used by thousands of corporations, and is taught in over 200 colleges, universities and business schools. His books have sold over 3 million copies and have been translated into 23 languages.
