Theory of Constraints (Goldratt)

Overview

What if the weakest link in your chain was holding back your entire business? The Theory of Constraints, developed by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, is a powerful framework that helps organizations identify and eliminate these bottlenecks. Used when systems are constrained by limited resources or processes, it focuses on improving the weakest link to maximize overall performance. Visually, it's represented by a diagram showing the five focusing steps: identify, exploit, subordinate, elevate, and repeat. By applying this method, businesses can systematically improve efficiency and achieve their goals. In just a few steps, you can transform constraints into opportunities.
