About Eliyahu M. Goldratt

Israeli physicist and management theorist who created the Theory of Constraints and founded the Avraham Y. Goldratt Institute.

The Goal teaches throughput accounting and constraint management inside a plant-turnaround novel: find the bottleneck, subordinate every other decision to it, raise it, then repeat. The method transfers to any process with a limiting step, which is why operations, project and software-delivery teams still run on it.
