The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a management philosophy introduced by Eliyahu M. Goldratt that identifies the limited number of constraints affecting a system's ability to achieve its goals. It involves steps such as identifying, exploiting, and elevating these constraints while applying various concepts like Drum-Buffer-Rope in different fields, including finance and project management. While TOC can significantly enhance productivity and communication, challenges such as identifying variations and timeframes may arise.
