TOC Thinking Processes Workshop
February 21-22, 2013
Hotel Windsor Manor, Bangalore
This 2-day workshop will cover the basic tools and techniques of Dr. Goldratt’s TOC Thinking
Processes along with relevant examples and
case studies.
Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt (1947 - 2011)
Dr. Goldratt, the creator of Theory of Constraints (TOC), was an educator, author, scientist, philosopher, and business leader. But he was, first and foremost, a thinker who provoked others to think.
TOC was first introduced in the best-selling book, The Goal, an intriguing business novel by Dr. Eli Goldratt. The book transformed the thinking, actions and results of managers throughout the world. TOC has been successfully applied in universities, high-tech, FMCG, hospitals, logistics, government, and retail, to name a few.
“What I mean by Inherent Simplicity is that reality, any part of reality, is
governed by very few elements, and that any existing conflict can be eliminated”
- Dr. Eli Goldratt, The Choice (October 2008)
We face conflicts at almost all stages in our life. Do you empathize with the following:
� Since we are unable to find completely satisfactory solutions, we compromise, and are forced to live with unsatisfactory solutions.
� We have many UnDesirable Effects (UDEs) in our personal or professional lives.
� Often we fail to find the root cause of all these negative side effects.
� We are forced to take actions separately symptom by symptom.
� Many of our current problems are the bad side effects of past solutions.
All the radical solutions that Dr. Eli Goldratt created in operations (Drum Buffer Rope), projects (Critical Chain), distribution (Replenishment), marketing (Mafia Offer) etc. had one common thread. They helped expose the wrong assumptions in the apparent conflicts in all these areas. Dr. Goldratt believed that as there are no conflicts in hard sciences, similarly there should be no conflicts in other fields. In case we observe one, he would challenge: "Check your assumptions. One set of assumptions will be wrong!"
The TOC Thinking Process workshop is for individuals and organizations that would like to use Dr. Eli Goldratt’s Thinking Processes tools to surface erroneous assumptions, and thereby resolve some very significant issues in their personal or organizational domain without any compromise.

Theory of Constraints (TOC)
The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a body of applied knowledge that treats a corporation as an interlinked, interdependent system rather than just a collection of independent processes or functions. Dr. Eli Goldratt, the creator of TOC, observed that just as the strength of a chain is dictated by its weakest link, so the overall performance of any company is dictated by its constraint.
Over 5,000 organizations around the world have achieved breakthrough results with TOC, including well-known names such as Intel, Cadillac, Texas Instruments, Boeing, Lucent Technologies, Ford Motors, Samsonite, Bethlehem Steel, Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, and Procter & Gamble.
