TOC Consulting:
What is the "Theory of Constraints"? The Theory of Constraints is a
thinking process that has as a central philosophy cause and effect
relationships. It takes a critical look at what is constraining an
organization from achieving its desired result, and uses a prescribed,
repeatable, methodology to overcome what is constraining.
The Theory of Constraints
(TOC) applies the cause-and-effect thinking processes used in the hard sciences
to understand and improve all systems, but particularly, organizations
The Theory of Constraints (TOC) consists of three parts:
- A set of problem-solving tools - called the TOC Thinking
Processes (TP) - to logically and systematically answer the three
questions essential to any process of on-going improvement: "What to change?",
"To what to change to?" and "How to cause the change?";
-
A set of daily management tools - taken from the
TOC Thinking
Processes - that can be used to significantly improve vital
management skills, such as communication, effecting change, team building and
empowerment; and,
-
Innovative, proven solutions created by applying the
TOC
Thinking Processes to specific application areas, such as Production
(as introduced in The Goal by Eli Goldratt), Distribution (as discussed in Its Not Luck,
by Eli Goldratt),
Marketing and Sales (as discussed in Its Not Luck), Project Management, and
Setting The Direction of The Company, to name only a few.
