Have you ever read a book so captivating that it made you want to be the protagonist or the main character in it? Solving production issues, improving productivity, and increasing profit seem so easy and so sensible!

This happened to me when I read The Goal about 25 years ago. It led to a lasting career of consulting and management all over the world. To those who are not familiar, this is the story, and you can read the summary at the appendix of this book.

Summarizing the philosophy and practice of the Theory of Constrains (TOC), we can say that the basics are very simple. Every organization has one and only one constraint. That constraint can be either be physical in the form of a bottleneck in production or virtual (yet very real) in the form of a rule. It hinders the company in its efforts to achieve the company’s goals.
In order to embark on a continuous improvement process, there are five steps:
1. Identify the constraint.
2. Decide how to exploit the constraint.
3. Subordinate and synchronize everything else to the above decisions.
4. Elevate the performance of the constraint.
5. If, in any of the above steps, the constraint has shifted, go back to Step 1.

Over the years, I was lucky to realize my ambition of the TOC in numerous industries, from garment production to mining, from services to food distribution, and many others. The companies were spread globally—Israel, China, India, Japan, and Scotland are some of them. Today, while running my own ventures, I find it as a good place to share this knowledge.

The one thing I found common is that in every organization, there are several individuals who, even without any formal training in the TOC, are more than capable of producing amazing results. This manual is written for them. It is the first of five, each of which covers one step in the continuous improvement process.
