Identifying and fixing bottlenecks transforms failing operations into profitable ones – The Goal by Goldratt reveals how Theory of Constraints thinking saved countless manufacturing businesses. This comprehensive operations guide and constraint management principles outline:
  • Theory of Constraints - Every system has one bottleneck limiting overall performance
  • Five Focusing Steps - Identify, exploit, subordinate, elevate, and repeat constraint management
  • Throughput Accounting - Measure money generated, not cost savings or efficiencies
  • Socratic Method - Ask questions to help people discover solutions themselves
The hidden gem: Goldratt's "Herbie concept" shows why strengthening non-constraints wastes resources completely. Apply your Click.Apply.Grow™ constraint focus: Map your process flow today. Find the slowest step. Maximize its output first. Manufacturing companies using TOC report 50% throughput increases within 90 days. Find constraints. Free profits.

About the Author

Eliyahu Goldratt was the Israeli physicist who revolutionized manufacturing with Theory of Constraints, saving thousands of factories.

PhD physicist who applied scientific thinking to business bottlenecks. The Goal sold 7+ million copies in 35 languages, required reading at 200+ business schools.

Beyond the books: Goldratt refused to discount his consulting ($50,000 daily)—proving constraints create value when properly managed.
