Theory of Constraints (TOC) is an overall management philosophy introduced by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt in his 1984 book titled The Goal, that is geared to help organizations continually achieve their goal.
I just got done reading, The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement, by Eliyahu Goldratt. I really liked the book and wanted to share what I took away from it. It is based in the eighties. Its protagonist, Alex Rogo is a manager of a failing plant that is behind on schedule, loss making and always over-worked. The gist of the story is how Alex turns things around to become a role model for the rest of the plants in his company’s division and is promoted as a result to lead the entire division itself all with the help of his Physics professor, Jonah, as a de facto management consultant.
