About this Presentation
Every industry, or even company in an industry, creates value in its unique way. But the patterns of inefficiency are the same across industries. Yes, they are. And so are the solutions to break those patterns.
Drawing upon 35 years of experience across a wide range of industries—hospitals; mining; manufacturing; maintenance, repair & overhaul; construction; high tech; and even back-office operations—Sanjeev will describe what those patterns are. He will also share how those patterns
What Will You Learn
To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
Learn why seemingly different industries suffer from the same recurring flow problems driven by common management paradigms rather than sector-specific complexity.
Understand how inefficiency indicators, inefficiency drivers, and paradigm flaws combine to create chronic bottlenecks and unstable performance.
See how TOC flow solutions such as Drum-Buffer-Rope, Critical Chain, and replenishment address these patterns across operations, projects, and services.
Gain insight into how focusing on flow rate—not cost, accountability, or utilization—enables rapid turnarounds and sustained improvement.

Sanjeev Gupta
Most recently, Sanjeev Gupta was the CEO of Vulcan Mozambique, Africa’s largest coal mine. Within the first 90 days, he led impressive improvements in profitability, mining production, and logistics, setting the mine on a path to sustained success. Sanjeev’s journey in turnarounds began early in his career at Xerox, a Fortune 100 company, where, as a junior manager, he turned around its worst-performing factory and made it the best-performing one. This initial success led him to found Throughput Technologies, where his team provided software based on the Theory of Constraints for factories. He worked with companies ranging from $5 million to $5 billion, improving throughput by 20% to 50% and reducing lead times by over 50%.
He later founded Realization Technologies, offering similar software and consulting services for project-based organizations. There, he achieved comparable throughput improvements, with lead time reductions varying between 25% to 75%. His clients included organizations such as ABB, BHP Billiton, Boeing, L & T, Medtronic, Siemens, and the U.S. Armed Forces (Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy). Sanjeev is a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, Virginia Tech, and Carnegie Mellon University.
