About The Institute
The TOC-Lean Institute was founded to help
businesses gain knowledge and grasp the benefits that the fusion of Theory of Constraints and Lean
techniques can bring to both manufacturing and service industries.
For many companies the implementation of “lean” has become a critical aspect of their operation – yet
many companies also report that their lean initiatives have not led to the expected bottom-line
improvements! At the same time it is also accepted that the range of tools and techniques contained
within the Lean toolbox is powerful when used in the correct manner. This suggests that many companies
are perhaps using tools in the wrong place. Few people would try to plaster a wall with a screwdriver
or tighten a bolt with a paintbrush, which implies that it is essential to pick the
right tool for the job. It also helps to be an expert in its use.
Using the focusing power of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) can sort out the toolbox –
with dramatic
results. TOC techniques are able to identify the priority areas and concentrate improvements where
they will have the most impact on the overall performance of the company. TOC methodology works
perfectly well with Lean, helping to identify the right tool for the job and guiding people through
the application in order to achieve better global performance.
TOC-Lean thus provides a high degree of
focus which is both in tune with reality and achievable on a practical level.
Developing people - helping them to achieve greatness - is crucial to
what we do: the thinking processes that lie at the heart of TOC are the basis for the Thinking For
Change approach for focusing on both team and business issues, and
in a coaching role, for enabling individuals to achieve their goal in life, leading to a better life
for all concerned.
We are also an approved examination centre for TOCICO, the
International Certification Organization for TOC practitioners.
