TOC has universal application at the individual, organization and supply chain levels. The organizations described in these presentations have made significant improvement by using the TOC philosophy to continuously improve.
Theory of Constraints (TOC) videos which range from theory to the implementation of TOC in small and large service, manufacturing, and government organizations. These applications were selected to provide a brief definition of TOC and show the breadth of successful applications from simple to complex. The same concepts that are applied to manufacturing can be modified slightly and applied to construction, software development (and implementation), healthcare, government, etc.
You will notice that in all TOC implementations, a few characteristics are apparent:
- The solutions are inherently simple
- Almost common sense but obviously not common practice
- Investments and operating expenses are minimal or nothing
- The results are almost instantaneous
- Firefighting is eliminated - Harmony results
- The results are multi-dimensional: improved organization profit
- More throughput with the same resources, better and timely results
- Improved morale, and no mass education effort is required.
