Theory of Constraints

This course presents the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and the TOC thinking processes. The goal of an organization is discussed followed by throughput accounting and the use of the "five focusing steps" to identify and manage constraints to organization performance. Students will also learn the thinking processes, a set of powerful tools they will use to 1) identify core problems that prevent organizational improvement, 2) develop breakthrough solutions to those problems, 3) break down the obstacles to change, 4) cause change to occur in the organization, and 5) achieve buy-in across organizational functions
